For their part, Bayern are not ruling out the possibility of selling the defender, especially if a satisfactory offer is received. The coming days are expected to be decisive for the development of the transfer, which could become one of Galatasaray’s biggest moves of the summer window. So far, the club has already signed players like Leroy Sane and is expected to secure the services of Victor Osimhen from Napoli shortly.
Kim spent the entire season struggling with persistent Achilles tendon pain and has not played since the end of April. He was on the bench for the matches against Flamengo and Paris Saint-Germain at the Club World Cup but did not appear on the pitch. His contract with Bayern runs until the summer of 2028, and the portal Transfermarkt.com currently values him at around €40 million.
