Bayern Complete Signing Of Kim Min-Jae From Napoli

Bayern Munich have confirmed the arrival of South Korean centre-back, Kim Min-jae from Napoli.

Kim was one of the top defenders in Europe last season, leading Napoli to Serie A glory and attracting plenty of interest as a result.

Manchester United pursued a deal for Kim but made slow progress in negotiations over personal terms, allowing Bayern to swoop in and finalise an agreement last month.

Bayern have triggered Kim’s €50 million release clause to get the deal done.

Kim will take the place of Lucas Hernandez, who joined Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for a similar fee earlier this month.

26-year-old Kim has enjoyed a whirlwind few years which have seen him rise from relative obscurity to a household name.

Kim was playing in his homeland until 2019 when he moved to the Chinese side Beijing Guoan, and he would only move to Europe two years later when he joined Fenerbahce for a fee of €3m.

One successful season in Turkey earned Kim an €18m move to Napoli and the centre-back is once again on the move after just 12 months, becoming one of the most expensive defenders of all time with this move to Bayern
