How was his 2025/26 season?
If anyone knows a good centre-back when he sees one, it is Bayern boss Vincent Kompany, and the former Manchester City and Belgium captain clearly believes in Kim, using him frequently in a rotation of a trio of world-class defenders along with Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah.
The South Korea international has started 19 of Bayern's 33 league matches in 2025/26, while also being used off the bench to help Bayern to challenge on several fronts. Ultimately, he is a Bundesliga winner once again, and could also lift the DFB Cup on 23 May.
