Ronaldo once again failed to claim silverware with Al-Nassr in 2024-25, leading to the five-time Ballon d'Or winner seriously considering his future.

Bayern have just bolstered their backline with the signing of Jonathan Tah from rivals Bayer Leverkusen, meaning their is room for Vincent Kompany to sell any unwanted talent. Kim played a lot of minutes for the Bavarians last season but is seemingly open to making the switch to the Middle East.
DID YOU KNOW?
Kim is contracted to Bayern until 2028, but with the German champions having acquired Tah for free already, they may be willing to offload the South Korean international for cheaper. Al-Nassr had a hard time preventing late goals in their most recent campaign, and Ronaldo may feel Kim's signing could pplug the hole in their defence.

While there is no official movement from Saudi yet, Al-Nassr have reportedly laid the foundations to sign Kim. He is believed to be open to a new challenge after facing some criticism during his time in Germany.
