[…] according to Sky Deutschland reporter Florian Plettenberg, Bayern’s pursuit of Kim is ‘proceeding well’.

He tweeted: “Talks about Min-jae Kim proceeding well. #FCBayern very interested in a transfer! Tuchel appreciates the player as well. Bayern has analyzed and discussed the 26 y/o.”

Plettenberg goes on to state that the final fee for Kim will be set at somewhere between €50m – €70m. And Kim’s ability to play in either centre-half position is additional quality that the Bayern boss admires.

The signing of Kim, though, could lead to the departure of Dayot Upamecano. The France defender is reportedly angling for a move away this summer, despite being a regular in their side.

Having made 82 appearances over two seasons, the 14-times capped France star has very much established himself as a regular.

However, Kicker recently claimed he is unhappy with his role under Tuchel and is considering a request to leave.

Plettenberg, though, has since denied he is pushing to leave. However, he does concede a number of big-name suitors have been in contact with his agent.

First, however, Bayern will need to get the Kim deal over the line.
