Briefly

If Dayot Upamecano leaves Bayern Munich, can the club trust Kim Min-jae to start?
"With each passing day, there is a little more doubt about the future of Dayot Upamecano at Bayern Munich. The Frenchman is publicly saying all of the right things and Bayern Munich - aside of effusively praising the center-back - is expressing confidence about getting a deal done. Things should feel...good? As we get closer to January, though, some big clubs are expressing interest."
"Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea FC, and Manchester City are all part of the mix for clubs who would - allegedly - like to give Upamecano a new home. If that happens, should Bayern Munich feel good about a starting center-back duo of Kim Min-jae and Jonathan Tah? Kim would be the logical choice to take over for Upamecano is he leaves if he sticks around. There is some thought that Kim could be looking for an exit plan, too."
There is growing uncertainty about Dayot Upamecano's future at Bayern Munich despite his public assurances and the club's praise and confidence about securing his commitment. Several major clubs — Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Manchester City — are reportedly interested in acquiring Upamecano during the January window. If Upamecano departs, Kim Min-jae would be the most logical candidate to replace him alongside Jonathan Tah as the starting centre-back duo. There is some speculation that Kim could also seek an exit, however, which would complicate transfer planning. Bayern must assess whether a Kim–Tah pairing can deliver long-term defensive stability or whether the club should pursue reinforcements in January.
