Joshua Kimmich Attracting Interest as Contract Nears End
Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich has entered the final six months of his contract, sparking interest from top European clubs. Liverpool has now joined Barcelona and Manchester City in the battle to sign the 29-year-old on a free transfer this summer.
Liverpool’s Midfield Reinforcements in Focus
Reports indicate that Liverpool is keen to bolster its midfield options and has added Kimmich to its list of summer transfer targets. Manager Arne Slot initially opted to trust Ryan Gravenberch, who has impressed with increased playing time, but Liverpool recognizes the need for additional midfield depth, particularly if Wataru Endo departs.
Kimmich’s Potential Landing Spots
During the summer, Kimmich reportedly identified five potential destinations: Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid. With his contract expiring, he is now free to negotiate with clubs outside Germany.
Bayern’s Efforts to Retain Kimmich
Despite the mounting interest, Bayern Munich has not given up hope of keeping Kimmich. Club officials have publicly urged him to extend his stay and cement his legacy at the Allianz Arena. However, Kimmich has confirmed his desire for an early resolution, stating in December that he does not plan to delay his decision until the summer.
