GdS: ‘Triumph to oblivion’ – Milan watching Kim’s story closely to offer opportunity

When Bayern Munich signed Kim Min-jae, it seemed like he would take the next step in his career. Instead, a move back to Italy with AC Milan could be on the cards. 

After his season with Napoli, Kim was one of the hottest properties in the defensive market, and many expected him to become one of the main parts of the Bayern defence. It has not gone that way, though.

Now, he is waiting for a new opportunity, and Milan could be the side to profit from this situation.

Waiting for a chance

As Gazzetta dello Sport write, he has failed to establish himself in Bavaria, yet there has never really been an interest from Bayern in selling him. Despite all this, the Rossoneri remain watching his situation, waiting for an opportunity.

The South Korean, who was named the best defender in Serie A before leaving for Germany, never settled in Germany. Injuries certainly affected his course, as did the language barrier and the form of others.

For these reasons, a move back to Italy could be the best thing for him. At Milanello, he would find more playing time and consistency, which have eluded him in recent years.

It remains a difficult deal to complete, due to the finances, but sales could bring change to that.
