In order to try and balance the club’s economical situation, Bayern Munich have been open to selling various first team players this summer.
That included Kingsley Coman, who did indeed leave for Al-Nassr after 10 years at the club.
It also includes the likes of Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry, who have garnered little to no interest.
One player who was up for sale and did have suitors was Kim Min-jae, who also had interest from Al Nassr.
However, it looks like he will now stay at the club.
According to BILD (via iMiaSanMia), the player is now “likely to stay” at Bayern Munich.
They state that the player always wanted to stay and establish himself despite the interest.
As per the report, Bayern would no longer agree to a sale so close to the end of the window.
That is, unless a “huge financial offer” comes in, but nothing else.
Furthermore, after persistent Achilles tendon problems last season, Kim feels much better now.
The South Korean defender has been on the bench in the opening two games, but came on both times.
On Friday, he intercepted a stray ball, carried the ball into the box, and laid the ball off for Harry Kane.
From there, the striker completed his hat-trick, with Kim providing the assist.
A sublime run and assist that will have done his chances of getting back into the starting XI no harm at all.
With a DFB Pokal game against third tier opposition in midweek, we could well see Kim get his first start of the season.
There is no doubt that when fully fit, Kim is a fantastic centre half who can help Bayern Munich.
Especially under the stewardship of former central defender Vincent Kompany.
