‘Monster defender’ Kim Min-jae (27) held a welcome ceremony amid cheers from 45,000 Bayern Munich fans. Kim Min-jae, who joined the club with ‘special treatment’, is attracting attention as the most anticipated player. Now, with the best defender Kim Min-jae, Munich’s immediate task is to recruit the best striker Harry Kane (30, Tottenham). Attention is focusing on whether Kane can become Kim Min-jae’s colleague after Son Heung-min.
Munich held a ‘Team Presentation’ event for the 2023-24 season at the Allianz Arena on the 23rd (local time) and introduced the male and female players of the professional team, including newly recruited players. It is a place where players and fans have a meeting to welcome the new season.
Kim Min-jae appeared wearing a Munich uniform with the number 3 on it. When the announcer introduced him as “Monster (Monster) Kim Min-jae,” the crowd filled the stadium applauded enthusiastically. Kim Min-jae also waved his hand and said hello. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of achieving the 2012-13 season’treble (three crowns, winning the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, and UEFA Champions League) this year, Munich legends such as Philippe Lahm and Bastian Schweinsteiger, as well as former coach Youpp Heynkes, who was the head coach at the time, were also present.

Kim Min-jae is receiving special treatment like a top-notch player. Munich dispatched a medical team to conduct a medical test for Kim Min-jae, who stayed in Korea for basic military training last month. After the official announcement last week, Min-jae Kim took a medical test, arrived at the airport and moved to the club, was made into a video and posted on the website. He continued to receive special treatment, such as holding a separate press conference.
Kim Min-jae signed a contract with Munich for 5 years until 2028. The buyout (minimum transfer fee) paid by Munich to Napoli is known to be 50 million euros (approximately 71 billion won). This is the highest amount ever for an Asian player, and the third highest transfer fee ever in Munich.

Munich’s remaining task is the recruitment of Kane. German media Kicker and Bilt reported on the day that “Munich is in the third round of negotiations to sign Tottenham’s Kane.” It is said that the annual salary will be more than 20 million euros (approximately 28 billion won) that Sadio Mane received when he transferred from Liverpool (England) to Munich.
Munich is persistently sending love calls to Kane as forward striker Robert Lewandowski left for FC Barcelona (Spain) last year. I sent two offers to Tottenham this summer, initially offering a transfer fee of 70 million euros (about 100 billion won), but raising it to 80 million euros (114 billion won). Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy insisted on 100 million pounds (about 165 billion won) and rejected all of them. But this time the atmosphere is different. The British Telegraph reported that “Tottenham owner Joe Louis has instructed Levy to sell Kane if he cannot extend his contract.”
