Inter Milan could launch a new onslaught for Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae after missing out on Juan Cabal.
The Nerazzurri are searching the market for a new defender following Tajon Buchanan’s injury. Carlos Augusto will return to serve as a backup for Federico Dimarco on the left flank, leaving the backline short on personnel.
Inter were reportedly close to sealing a deal for Cabal, but Hellas Verona eventually sold him to Juventus.
Therefore, the Italian champions are once again reflecting on their market options.
According to La Repubblica via FcInterNews, the Nerazzurri have rekindled their interest in Kim.
The 27-year-old spent a single campaign in Italian football, but it was enough for him to leave a significant mark.
The South Korean cemented himself as one of the finest defenders in Serie A during the 2022/23 season. His campaign culminated in a historic Scudetto triumph.
Kim’s exploits at the Stadio Maradona prompted Bayern to activate his release clause and lure him to Bavaria.

Nevertheless, the former Fenerbahce man endured a complicated first campaign in German football.
He eventually lost his starting berth, with Thomas Tuchel preferring the defensive partnership of Matthijs de Ligt and Eric Dier.
The Bundesliga giants have now replaced the German tactician with Vincent Kompany, but Kim’s future at the Allianz Arena remains unclear.
As the source explains, Inter won’t make any hasty decisions. They prefer to take their time in their pursuit of a new defender.
The Beneamata will try to snatch the services of the South Korea international on loan. But it remains to be seen if Bayern would be open to this formula.
The two clubs conducted two operations together last summer, with Yann Sommer and Benjamin Pavard moving from the German giants to the Italian champions,
