Kim Min-jae, who is having a hard time, feels even more burdened Bayern Munich considering signing Manchester United defender Varane

There is a possibility that Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), who has been on a forced march without rest this season, may be able to relieve some of the burden. There is a local report that Bayern Munich, which is lacking a center back, may sign high-quality defender Rafael Varane (Manchester United) in the winter transfer window next January.

Germany's Sky Sports and others reported on the 22nd (local time), "We are discussing recruiting Bayern Munich. Coach Thomas Tuchel is hoping to bring Varan in,” the report said.

Varane, a former French national team centre-back, left Real Madrid (Spain) and transferred to Manchester United in 2021. Until last season, he performed well as the starting center back alongside Lisandro Martinez.

However, this season, he gradually lost out in the competition for the starting role and spent more time on the bench. Varane appeared in eight games this season, but started only four.

Because of this, Varane is not satisfied with his life at Manchester United, and Munich is taking advantage of this opportunity to recruit him.

Bayern Munich is suffering from a lack of center back resources this season. There are only three professional central defenders, including Dayot Upamecano, Matthijs Dericht, and Kim Min-jae. Reinforcement of the defense is urgently needed.

Dericht has been injured recently and Upamecano is not at 100%. Due to team circumstances, Kim Min-jae continued to play full-time without being replaced for 10 consecutive games, leading to controversy over overuse.

In addition, Kim Min-jae is scheduled to be selected for the Asian Football Confederation Asian Cup to be held in Qatar in January next year, so Bayern Munich is immediately on fire.

However, it is unclear whether the actual deal can be concluded. This is because of Baran’s high ransom.

‘Eurosport’ said, “Varane’s transfer fee will be between 20 million and 30 million euros (about 42.5 billion won),” and “Bayern will struggle to cover Varane’s annual salary of 17 million pounds (about 27.6 billion won).” “It was reported.

It is reported that Varane's weekly salary at Manchester United is around 340,000 pounds (about 550 million won).

The German version of Sky Sports reported, “Bayern Munich will not find it easy to afford the price Manchester United is asking.” sportstotomen.com
