Min-jae Kim to AC Milan
Quiet since 19 October 2026. Last report: FussballTransfers. Probability when it went quiet: 1%.
Min-jae Kim's name has surfaced again as a possible departure from FC Bayern München, with AC Milan the club credited with interest. The idea isn't new: Milan were said to have looked at the South Korean defender as far back as spring, and the latest reporting suggests that interest hasn't gone away. No talks, bid or agreement of any kind have been reported, and with no Serie A window open until January, nothing can move on the pitch before then anyway. The only source attached to this is FussballTransfers, which first reported it on 19 October 2026. It's a single outlet, describing Milan's earlier interest as not having become "really concrete". There's no corroboration from a second voice, so this sits firmly in the category of a story to watch rather than one to trust. Given the thin sourcing and the lack of any concrete contact described, this has to be rated a long shot. Kim has 18 months left on his Bayern contract when the January window opens, meaning Bayern hold all the leverage and face no pressure to sell. For this to go anywhere, Milan would need to firm up genuine interest, agree a fee with Bayern, and do it inside the narrow January window. Kim's past moves give some context on his value: Napoli sold him to Bayern for €50m, having bought him from Fenerbahçe for €19m. Milan's recent business at centre back includes paying Lazio €30m for Mario Gila in 2026, so a move for a defender isn't out of character for them, even if Kim's case is far less advanced. Watch for any sign of direct contact between Milan and Bayern once January arrives, or a second outlet pickin
