GdS: Bayern Munich man remains Milan’s dream and is open to Italy return – the situation

AC Milan are not giving up on their ‘dream’ of signing Kim Min-jae, but it will be a very tough operation to pull off.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, without a sale Milan basically have zero budget to put towards a transfer fee for a centre-back or a player in any other position. So, they must sign someone for a very low fee, or via a loan formula.

The impossible dream?

The goal is to find a world-class centre-back who can leave his current club on loan, preferably with a background in Serie A. The perfect fit is Kim Min-jae, who won the title in Italy with Napoli and then immediately moved to Germany, to Bayern Munich.

He would be an ideal addition, but for now the German giants aren’t so open to his departure. The main issue is salary: Kim earns a ridiculous amount of €9m net per year. Even on loan, Bayern would need a helping hand to cover his wages.

In short, everything is very complicated at the moment, although the Korean is open to a return to Serie A. That’s why alternative, slightly ‘easier’ options remain, such as the one leading to Chelsea’s Axel Disasi (more so than Dortmund’s Niklas Süle).

The Frenchman is not a part of the plans at Stamford Bridge, while relations between Milan and the Blues are excellent, so if the Rossoneri management were to step up their game, a deal would be more than possible.

As Igli Tare reiterated before the match against Cagliari, the Rossoneri are not in such a rush. Massimiliano Allegri was able to do without Gabbia and Pavlovic, two of his three starters, in Sardinia. A signing will be made, but the current situation is not seen as an absolute emergency.
