Min-jae Kim (27, Naples) is scheduled to receive basic military training for three weeks this summer, local media analyzed that this could be good news for Naples.
On the 29th (Korean time), ‘Arena Naples’ cited the reason that communication related to the transfer could not be conducted smoothly if the period of Kim Min-jae’s military training and the period of the temporary buyout in early July overlapped, and the news of Kim Min-jae’s military training scheduled for the summer came to Naples. It was described as ‘good news’.
On the 28th, Kim Min-jae’s side said, “Kim Min-jae will enter the training center for basic military training in mid-June.” His entry date was reportedly just before the first A match in June at Klinsmann Ho.
The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Klinsman, will play two A-matches against Peru on the 16th and El Salvador on the 20th. Match venue and kickoff time are undecided.
Since both matches are held during the A-match period designated by the International Football Federation (FIFA), all foreign players are subject to convocation. However, there is a possibility that Kim Min-jae’s joining will fail. This is because it coincidentally coincided with his basic military training schedule.
Kim Min-jae, a gold medalist at the 2018 Jakarta/Palembang Asian Games, received special military service benefits and was transferred to an arts and sports personnel.
Athletes who have obtained arts and sports personnel qualifications must undergo basic military training for three weeks within one year after registration. Over the next 34 months, he will have to complete 544 hours of volunteer work while working in the sport.
After winning the Asian Games gold medal, Kim Min-jae was scheduled to complete basic military training in 2019, but the plan was modified to participate in the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship (East Asian Cup), which was the beginning of the appointment of former coach Paulo Bento.
In the summer of 2022, he could not enter the training center due to injury surgery. Kim Min-jae, who had undergone surgery at the time, completed registration as an arts and sports agent in June of that year. He had to complete three weeks of military training within a year.
Kim Min-jae’s side said, “The enlistment date has not been confirmed. He immediately inquired at the Military Manpower Administration. He hasn’t gotten an answer yet. he is tuned However, it is true that he has to complete training within one year after registration,” he explained.
The Korea Football Association said, “Director Klinsman is also aware of Kim Min-jae’s situation. We are waiting for an answer from the Military Manpower Administration.”
From Kim Min-jae’s point of view, it is better to digest basic military training as soon as possible after finishing this season. Showcasing world-class defense and receiving love calls from big clubs, the right time for his transfer is the upcoming summer. In particular, the buyout clause is temporarily activated from July 1 to 15. Prior to that, three weeks of basic military training should be completed to make the transfer process easier. 토토사이트
News of Kim Min-jae also flowed into Naples.
‘Arena Napoli’ analyzed, “Across June and early July, Kim Min-jae will have to complete military service for three weeks. This will greatly complicate potential interest from other clubs.”
When Kim Min-jae enters the training center after completing the A match in June, there are a number of cases where the buyout period overlaps. This is what the media is claiming that it may be in favor of Napoli. The idea is that once Kim Min-jae enters the training center, he will not be able to smoothly discuss the transfer, leaving the possibility of remaining open.
