Josh Acheampong will only join Bayern Munich if Kim Min-jae leaves

FC Bayern Munich are reportedly keeping an eye on Chelsea youngster Josh Acheampong, though the club is not actively pursuing a move at this stage.

The versatile English-born defender of Ghanaian descent, who can operate both at centre-back and right-back, is seen as a long-term option should Bayern decide to strengthen their defensive depth.

Kim Min-jae’s Situation Key to Any Deal

According to reports from Bild’s football chief Christian Falk, any serious move for Acheampong would depend on the future of Kim Min-jae.

Bayern are said to be monitoring the situation closely, but will only enter the market for a new centre-back if Kim requests a departure from the club.

At present, there is no indication that the South Korean defender is pushing to leave Munich, with Bayern viewing him as a valuable squad option even if he is not a guaranteed starter.

No Immediate Transfer Pressure

Inside the club, there is reportedly no urgency to offload Kim Min-jae or bring in a replacement.

The defender is understood to be content with his current role, although he is also eager to regain a more central, starting position similar to his time in Serie A.

For now, Bayern’s stance remains clear: no defensive signing will be made unless a key departure occurs.

Future Decision Likely in Summer

While Acheampong remains on Bayern’s broader shortlist, any potential move is expected to depend entirely on how the squad situation develops closer to the summer transfer window.
