Kim Min-jae arrived at Bayern Munich after a stellar spell at Napoli, but there are some who think he's underrated. Coach Thomas Tuchel, who has shown his affection for the player, refutes this.
British media outlet '90min' reported on the 17th (KST), "Munich signed a defender with little recognition, Kim Min-jae, who is underrated by some fans. Tuchel's interview tells a different story."

What he likes most about Kim is his work ethic and attitude in training. "He's very disciplined, kind and humble. It definitely stands out." Tuchel was even more impressed with Kim's demeanor.

They traveled to South Korea to conduct a medical for Kim, who was fresh out of military training. They handwrote letters to her family and gave 먹튀검증 her a jersey with her name on it.
The transfer fee was also generous. Napoli paid a buyout of 50 million euros (about 73 billion won). The highest transfer fee for an Asian player also went to Kim Min-jae.
Tuchel was so enthusiastic about the signing that he hugged him at the entrance to the training center when he arrived.
Kim made his debut in the Super Cup against RB Lahipzig, but he's not yet fully fit. If he can adapt, he could make the leap to first-team defense.
