During the 2024-25 season, Cristiano Ronaldo did not secure any trophies with Al-Nassr, prompting him to contemplate his future. Recent reports suggest he is likely to stay with the club, which is eager to enhance its squad by bringing in top-tier talent, including Bayern Munich's center-back Kim Min-jae. Despite logging significant playing time with Bayern last season, Kim appears open to a move to the Saudi Pro League.

Currently contracted with Bayern until 2028, Kim may be available at a lower price following the club's acquisition of Tah on a free transfer. Al-Nassr faced challenges in their last campaign, particularly with late-game defensive lapses, and Ronaldo may see Kim as a solution to bolster their defense. Although no formal offer has been made yet, it is reported that Al-Nassr is laying the groundwork for a potential signing, with Kim reportedly eager for a new challenge after facing some criticism during his time in Germany.

In 2024, Kim Min-jae had a commendable season, participating in 43 matches and scoring three goals. He made 27 appearances in the Bundesliga, netting two goals over 2,289 minutes of play. In the UEFA Champions League, he played 13 matches, contributing one goal and accumulating 1,072 minutes. Additionally, he featured in three DFB-Pokal matches. Known for his defensive strength and aerial ability, Kim was a crucial part of Bayern Munich's defense, demonstrating his reliability both domestically and in international competitions.
