Kim was also close to signing with Rennes, but he personally preferred to join Ligue 1 club Rennes because of the presence of French manager Genesio, who has worked with him before.

The latest news, however, suggests that Rennes from Ligue 1 are the one closer to signing him, with the team having now agreed on personal terms with the player. Renowned transfer journalist Romano has revealed that negotiations between Rennes and Fenerbahce over his transfer fee are now underway. Another major transfer expert, Skylar, has revealed that Rennes will pay €20 million outright to take the South Korean center-back from Fenerbahce by activating the release clause in Minjae Kim's contract. Min-Ja Kim is expected to sign a four-year contract with Rennes with an annual salary of €2.5 million.

Rennes have just announced that they have extended their contract with Hotspur until 2025, so if all goes well, Kim will continue to play under his former mentor for the next few years.

According to the statistics, he made 39 appearances for Fenerbahce in all competitions this past season, scoring one goal and receiving six yellow cards, and was an absolute mainstay of the team's runners-up spot in the league. If his move goes through, then Beijing, his former home team, will be in the running.

The player will also receive a fee, as his previous transfer to Fenerbahce came with a clause for a share of the second transfer, and it's not entirely clear how Rennes will pay that amount and when it will arrive.
