Real Madrid Linked with Potential Joshua Kimmich Free Transfer

Real Madrid has reportedly set their sights on Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich, who is in the final six months of his contract. However, conflicting reports from Germany and Spain provide mixed insights into whether the Spanish giants are genuinely pursuing the German international.

Kimmich’s Contract Situation

Joshua Kimmich’s contract with Bayern Munich is set to expire in six months, allowing him to negotiate with foreign clubs. Bayern has publicly expressed their intent to extend the 29-year-old’s deal and retain him as a cornerstone of the team.

While talks between Kimmich and Bayern have not made significant progress, reports suggest the player is exploring his options. German publication BILD claims that Kimmich is in active discussions with Real Madrid and would prioritize a move to the Spanish capital if he decides against staying in Munich.

Conflicting Reports

On the other hand, Spanish media outlet MARCA has downplayed rumors linking Kimmich to Real Madrid. According to their sources, the La Liga club is not pursuing the German midfielder and does not view him as a viable long-term solution for their squad.

Real Madrid is reportedly focusing on younger acquisitions, much like their recent decision to avoid pursuing Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk.

Bayern Munich’s Hopes to Retain Kimmich

Despite the speculation, Bayern Munich remains optimistic about securing a contract extension with Kimmich. According to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, an extension appears to be the most likely outcome, especially as Kimmich’s family prefers to stay in Munich. However, the player is reportedly open to evaluating all his options before making a final decision.

Kimmich has made it clear that he will not delay his decision indefinitely, leaving both Bayern and potential suitors awaiting his next move.
