"Bayern will be reactive in the transfer market when it comes to signing a center-back. A lot will depend on what happens with Kim Min-jae. The Bavarian club is open to listening to adequate offers for the South Korean defenders. He was heavily linked with several clubs in January, but the former Napoli center-back feels settled in Munich and wants to fight for game time."
"The latest name to be linked with Bayern is Ruud Nijstad. According to SportBild (via iMiaSanMia), Bayern are interested in the 18-year-old defender from FC Twente. The Bavarian club is scouting Nijstad along with several big clubs in Europe. FC Twente will look for a fee closer to €10 million for the teenager."
"One thing is certain: Bayern will not spend heavily to replace Kim Min-jae if he ends up leaving Munich. They have been linked with young defenders over the last few weeks."
Bayern Munich is avoiding a major squad overhaul this summer, prioritizing player retention through contract extensions like those for Dayot Upamecano and Serge Gnabry. The club's central defense is secure, with Upamecano's extension preventing rival interest. Bayern will adopt a reactive approach in the transfer market for center-backs, contingent on Kim Min-jae's future. While open to adequate offers for the South Korean defender, he currently feels settled and wants playing time. Bayern is scouting young European center-backs as backup options, including 18-year-old Ruud Nijstad from FC Twente, available for approximately €10 million. The club will not spend heavily on center-back replacements if Kim departs.
