According to reports, Chelsea are looking into signing 29-year-old centre back Kim Min-Jae from Bayern Munich.
The Blues are looking at potentially making a move to sign him in the summer transfer window, with the 29-year-old now becoming less of a regular starter at his club.

Chelsea don’t really sign players of this age, so this one will be hard for most Chelsea fans to believe. But adding experience to the back line would be a very smart move from the club, if they can manage to sway a little from their ethos of only buying young.

According to Christian Falk, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are keeping a close eye on the South Korean international’s future with the Bundesliga giants, with a transfer to the Premier League emerging as a possible option for Min-jae.
He has a contract with Bayern until June 2028 and is valued at ÂŁ22 million on Transfermarkt, and Chelsea may well see it as a valuable opportunity if they can get him for a decent fee.
I don’t personally see this happening, but it could be one to keep an eye on I guess, like many other names we are being linked with right now.
