Bayern Munich has reactivated its interest in signing Jules Koundé, the French center-back from FC Barcelona, looking towards January. The goal of the next market for the signings of Bayern Munich is to strengthen its defense.

As reported by Sport newspaper, the German board led by Vincent Kompany has identified the French international as their top priority to reinforce the defense, with the condition that Kim Min-jae is sold for a minimum of 40 million euros before.

Kim Min-jae's sale and Bayern Munich's finances for the winter market

Bayern Munich's management has granted permission to the South Korean center-back to negotiate his transfer in January, expecting to earn 40 million euros and free up an annual salary of 8 million euros. Tottenham and Aston Villa have shown interest in presenting offers in the Premier League, while AC Milan has made an initial inquiry to the Bavarian club.

The funds generated from the South Korean's sale would be reinvested directly in the negotiations for the FC Barcelona defender, whose market value on Transfermarkt stands at 60.00 million euros.

Jules Koundé's stance in FC Barcelona and the alternative of Tomás Araújo

Despite Bayern Munich's interest, the French player intends to stay with FC Barcelona to compete for a starting position under Hans-Dieter Flick's command. His ability to play as a right-back and center-back makes him Kompany's favored choice for the second half of the season.

If no positive response is received from the Barcelona dressing room, the Munich club's technical staff considers the Portuguese Tomás Araújo, a Benfica defender valued at 35 million euros, as an alternative.

Financial oversight at FC Barcelona as a negotiating factor

Meanwhile, FC Barcelona's board is assessing the team's salary margin before providing a final response to the German demands. The sale of a key player would enable the Catalan club to delve into the winter market for new signings or invest in a midfielder.

The Catalan executives have set a minimum price of 60.00 million euros for the player, which they would demand in a single payment to authorize the transfer. Bayern Munich's executives will await formal proposals for Kim Min-jae during October and November 2026.

If the sale of the South Korean center-back is confirmed in the upcoming winter market, Bayern Munich will make a substantial offer to secure the signing of Jules Koundé.
