Kim Min-jae 27, Bayern Munich is more likely to face a tougher competition for the starting lineup next season.
"Munich has emerged as one of the leading candidates for the next destination of Usman Diomande 20, Sporting this summer," Spanish media 'Pichahes' reported on the 30th
The thin lineup of center backs was cited as one of Munich's weaknesses this season. Despite recruiting Kim Min-jae last summer, Bangjamain Pavard and Josip Stanisic left the team, causing a setback in rotation.
The burden was borne entirely by the remaining players. Kim Min-jae played full-time for 15 consecutive games, while Matthijs the Licht and Dayo Upamecano constantly suffered minor injuries.
Eventually, reinforcement took place in the transfer market in January. Munich hired Eric Dier from Tottenham last month on a short-term lease for six months. It was expected that a stable rotation would take place with four main-level centerbacks.
The effectiveness of recruitment was better than expected. Dyer eclipsed Kim Min-jae to secure the starting center back position without special adjustment. In recent official matches, he started five consecutive matches, leading Munich's unbeaten streak.
Kim Min-jae's position has decreased dramatically. At the recent match between Lazio and Darmstadt, he was humiliated by sitting on the bench without playing even a minute.
Chances are high that the competition for the starting lineup will intensify next season. According to the latest report, Munich is fiercely competing with multiple clubs to recruit Diomande ahead of the summer transfer window.
Diomande is considered a talent who will grow into a top center back in the future. Despite his young age, he has captured the attention of the world by proving his stable defense and smooth build-up skills.
It has already established itself as the core of defense in Sporting. Diomande has garnered two goals and one assist in 29 games in all of the tournaments this season, heralding a prosperous future.
His performance also continued for the Ivory Coast national team. Having been called up to the Ivory Coast national team at the Africa Cup of Nations in January, Diomande also helped his team win the championship.
A large transfer fee is required to recruit Diomande. "Sporting will not allow Diomande to move unless it is offered at 80 million euros about 120 billion won, which is equivalent to a buyout," Pichaess said. 안전놀이터
Despite the high transfer fee, many teams want Diomande. Not only Munich but also clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly closely monitoring Diomande.
