Tottenham and Aston Villa are reportedly both interested in a potential transfer move for Bayern Munich central defender Kim Min-jae.The South Korea international has had a strong career at the highest level in Europe, even if he’s never quite established himself as an automatic starter for Bayern.Kim won Serie A during his time at former club Napoli, and he’s won two Bundesliga titles at the Allianz Arena, so he’s an experienced winner who could surely strengthen a lot of Premier League clubs.According to Christian Falk, speaking to CF Bayern Insider, there is genuine interest from Spurs and Villa, who made some contact over signing the 29-year-old during the summer.Kim wasn’t available at that time, but it could be that clubs will look at him again, while AC Milan could also be another team to watch.More Stories / Latest News“Made contact” – Tottenham & Aston Villa keen on signing 29-year-old three-time title winnerSep 26 2026, 17:00Chelsea and Liverpool chase elite £70m centre back – transfer may need more than just moneySep 26 2026, 16:55From Spain: Barcelona back in for Erling Haaland transfer following Man City charges newsSep 26 2026, 16:22Kim Min-jae could seal transfer to the Premier LeagueDiscussing Kim’s future, Falk said: “I can say it’s still true that Bayern Munich will be the first club he opens any kind of talks with.But it will depend on a number of things, like what Bayern are offering this Autumn when they open talks over his future?

Aston Villa is interested, and I heard both Tottenham and AC Milan are also looking at the South Korean international.
