'Schwäbische Zeitung' reported that Min-jae Kim stated at a fan club meeting that the thought of a transfer has never occurred to him.

Bayern's Min-jae Kim is currently rejecting all inquiries for a winter transfer. It is reported that he intends to stay in Munich at least until the end of the season. Fenerbahce and clubs from Italy, including Milan, have recently expressed interest in the 29-year-old South Korean defender, who has rarely been in the starting lineup this season with 9 appearances in the Bundesliga. Kim has 75 caps for South Korea and is under contract with Bayern until 2028, with a release clause of 70 million euros for a summer transfer. His current market value is €25.00m, according to Transfermarkt. In January 2026, reports suggested Bayern would only sell for an offer of around €50 million. He originally joined the club from Napoli in July 2023 for a fee of €50 million.
