South Korean international defender Kim Min-jae could be heading back to Italy this summer.
According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sports, the center-back has approved a potential transfer to Serie A side Juventus.
Juventus sees the 27-year-old as a key addition to strengthen their defense. The club considers him an ideal replacement if current defender Gleison Bremer leaves the team.
A move to Turin would reunite Kim with manager Luciano Spalletti. The player thrived under Spalletti during their time together at Napoli before his move to Germany.
Financial Hurdles
However, the transfer faces financial obstacles.
Bayern Munich has set a €40 million asking price for the defender, which Juventus hopes to negotiate downward.
Kim originally joined Bayern from Napoli in 2023 for €50 million. His current market value is estimated at €20 million by Transfermarkt.
Juventus remains hopeful of reaching an agreement before the summer window closes.
