The Story in 60 Seconds

Bayern Munich are reportedly open to considering a permanent sale of defender Kim Min-jae if the right offer arrives, providing an encouragement for Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs made contact regarding the 29-year-old South Korean international over the summer and remain attentive to his situation. While Kim is under contract until 2028 and content to fight for his position, he has dropped behind Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah in manager Vincent Kompany's defensive hierarchy.

A transfer is viewed as more realistic next summer rather than in January, with Bayern potentially sanctioning a permanent departure for around £30 million. Aston Villa and AC Milan are also tracking the defender. Rohan Sengupta argues that Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi must push to secure Kim's signing to stabilize a defense that has conceded eight goals in five matches.
