“Isn’t the future of Kim Min-jae (28, Bayern Munich) related to the intention of Leverkusen head coach Xavi Alonso (42)?”

Britain’s “Caught Offside” said on the 25th, “Fabricio Romano, who is well versed in the European transfer market, said that hiring a new Munich coach will be a key step in determining the Munich squad. In response, he made it clear that it is too early to guess the future of the current “Munich defensive duo” Dayo Upamecano and Kim Min-jae.”

“Munich has not had its best season yet. A major shake-up could take place. New players could come in, some could come out of the squad,” the media said. “Nevertheless, it is too early for Munich to give up on Kim Min-jae because he transferred from Napoli to Munich last summer. Upamecano was also a key Bundesliga player.”

In his column recently, Romano said, “There are speculations that prestigious players will leave Munich. First of all, there is talk that Upamecano is considering transferring. However, as far as I understand, there is no specific content (proposal),” adding, “What is important for Munich right now is the appointment of a new coach.” “Kim Min-jae is another player who has an uncertain future. It seems to be in the same situation as Upamecano. However, transferring a player always comes with the coach’s decision. Therefore, the replacement of Tuchel will be the key.”

Romano also said, “Defenders such as Matisse the Licht and Kim Min-jae and Upamecano have been rumored to be transferred, but nothing has been decided realistically,” nailing Kim Min-jae’s future as he heads to the second half of the 2023-2024 season.

There has already been an official announcement that current Munich coach Thomas Tuchel will take charge of Munich until this season. And rumors of Alonso Leverkusen’s next replacement are gaining momentum. As a result, Kim Min-jae and Alonso could become inseparable. This means that if Alonso actually takes office as the next coach, Kim Min-jae’s future could change depending on his decision.

Alonso is leading Leverkusen as the undefeated team in the league this season. With 22 wins and four draws and 70 points in 26 matches, he is leading the Bundesliga by beating Munich (60 points) to second place. If Alonso takes the helm, he will change his status to head of the Rival team.
Earlier this month, “Football 365” announced, “If Alonso leaves Leverkusen this summer, he will head to Munich, not Liverpool.”

Liverpool, the top-ranked English Premier League (EPL) team, will also part ways with coach Jurgen Klopp at the end of this season.

“I have nothing to say. I don’t want to tell you in advance. I’m the coach of Leverkusen,” Alonso said before the latest report on “Football 365.”

However, according to ‘Football 365’, Munich has started ‘negotiations’ with Alonso.

Sky Sports’ Florian Flettenberg leaked the source of the report. “Alonso can stay in Leverkusen, but if he leaves (not to England where Liverpool is located), he will stay in Germany,” she predicted. On Monday, she reported once again on Alonso’s likely move to Munich.

Alonso made his debut with Real Sociedad in 1999 and headed to Liverpool in 2004. While playing for Liverpool, he won four trophies including the UEFA Champions League (2004-2005).

Alonso then headed to Real Madrid in 2009 and retired from Bayern Munich in 2017. 스포츠중계

Alonso, who began his managerial career with Real Sociedad B team after retiring, took the helm of Leverkusen in 2022. Having finished sixth in the league last season, Alonso leads Leverkusen as the only unbeaten team in Europe’s top five leagues in the 2022-03-2024.
