Inter are in the market for a new defender and have earmarked a high-profile one, Kim Min-Jae, should Bayern Munich make him available. Stefan De Vrij and Francesco Acerbi are aging. The latter’s future at the club is suddenly in peril due to the ongoing racist controversy involving Juan Jesus.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the South Korean hasn’t been a regular despite a €50M investment to purchase him from Napoli. Director Piero Ausilio has been following since his Fenerbahce days. He was a potential Milan Skriniar heir.
Kim has grown restless at Bayern Munich and could ask out if things didn’t improve, with Inter and other clubs waiting in the wings. On the other hand, the Bavarians will change their coach, which could favor his permanence.
In addition to the former Napoli star, the Nerazzurri are also pondering West Ham’s Konstantinos Mavropanos and Chris Smalling. The veteran has barely played this season due to a major knee injury. He’s under contract with Roma until 2025. His exit will be a topic of conversation soon.
Our Take on Inter and Kim
The rumors about the Korean returning to Italy were bound to happen at some point given his reduced role. He’d be an elite signing for any team, especially his former one, but he won’t just be given away despite the situation. It’s premature, but the Nerazzurri have done a lot of business with the Bavarians. Perhaps a partial swap with Denzel Dumfries will emerge as a possibility.
