A source close to the South Korean defender shut down the speculation, stating, "We are currently not in talks with Al-Nassr. These reports are not true. Min-jae is fully focused on Bayern Munich and will stay, unless something extraordinary happens."
The rumours gained traction on July 31, when Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna posted on X, claiming that discussions were underway between Kim's representatives and Al-Nassr, with the player open to the move.
However, the swift rebuttal from Kim's camp, echoed by Sky Sport Deutschland, has put those suggestions to rest, with sources close to the player insisting his focus remains squarely on Bayern Munich.
Kim, who joined Bayern Munich from Napoli in 2023 for a reported 50 million euros, has been a key figure for the German champions, despite battling persistent Achilles tendon issues during the 2024-25 campaign. His resilience shone through as he helped Bayern secure the Bundesliga title, conceding the fewest goals in the league, and earned a spot in the Bundesliga's Best XI as voted by fans.
While Bayern have openly entertained offers for the 28-year-old, with Paris Saint-Germain and several Premier League clubs previously linked, a move to Al-Nassr was never a serious prospect. The Bavarians' defensive depth would be tested by Kim's departure, especially with Jonathan Tah's arrival and Dayot Upamecano cemented as starters under manager Vincent Kompany.
Kim's camp reiterated his determination to fight for his place, with the player himself yet to comment publicly. Bayern Munich, meanwhile, have not issued an official statement, but the club's focus appears to be on squad stability as they prepare for their Bundesliga opener.
For now, Kim Min-jae remains a Bayern Munich cornerstone, ready to anchor their defence in a season brimming with ambition. Only an extraordinary turn of events could alter his course in Bavaria.
