Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti is reportedly keen on signing Kim Min-jae, a defender currently at Bayern Munich. The 29-year-old South Korean has found limited playing time under manager Vincent Kompany, who favors a different centre-back pairing. Kim previously enjoyed a stellar season with Napoli in 2022, where he played a crucial role in their historic Scudetto win and was named Serie A Defender of the Season. After moving to Bayern for €50 million, his time in the Bundesliga has not met expectations, leading to speculation about a transfer. Spalletti, who wishes to reunite with Kim, may face challenges as Bayern is reportedly seeking €40 million for the player, alongside competition from other clubs like AC Milan. Furthermore, Kim's current salary of €8 million per year exceeds Juventus's wage structure, complicating potential negotiations.
