Juventus Weigh January Loan for Bayern Defender Min-jae Kim

Reports link the pursuit to Kim's limited minutes under Vincent Kompany following Bremer's injury.

Overview

  • Juventus have contacted Kim's representatives, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, with a loan plus option to buy under discussion.
  • Bayern have not approved any move and would only contemplate a winter exit if they secure adequate defensive cover.
  • Kim has fallen to a rotation role this season behind Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah in Kompany's preferred pairing.
  • The 28-year-old signed from Napoli for €50 million in 2023 and is under contract until 2028, with Transfermarkt listing his value at about €32 million.
  • Milan Skriniar is also under consideration for Juventus, and Italian clubs are monitoring Kim as he targets steadier minutes ahead of the 2026 World Cup, according to reports.
