Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing 29-year-old German international Joshua Kimmich from Bundesliga club Bayern Munich.
According to a report by Football Insider, Manchester City are exploring a surprise January move for Joshua Kimmich. It will be interesting to see if the Bundesliga giants are prepared to let the German international leave this month.
The 29-year-old utility man is capable of operating as a defensive midfielder as well as a right-back. His versatility will be a bonus for Manchester City if they can get the deal done. Pep Guardiola has worked with the player during their time together at Bayern Munich, and he knows all about the German international.
Kimmich should be able to settle into Manchester City’s style of play quickly as well. The experienced player has worked with the Spanish manager, and he knows Guardiola’s philosophy inside out. The 29-year-old has proven himself to be a world-class performer for club and country over the years, and he could prove to be an exceptional acquisition for the Premier League champions.
Manchester City need midfield depth
Manchester City have endured a disappointing season so far, and they are unlikely to be able to win the Premier League title this season. They have suffered in the absence of star midfielder Rodri. The Spanish defensive midfielder has proven to be irreplaceable at the club, and the lack of depth has cost Manchester City this season.
Pursuing someone like Kimmich will provide some much-needed cover in the midfield, and it would help Manchester City improve immensely. The 29-year-old has played for a big club, and he knows what it takes to win trophies consistently. He could be a good fit for Manchester City if they can get the deal done.
The Premier League champions have the financial resources to get the deal across the line, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. Convincing the midfielder to join them should not be a difficult task for the English club. The German international could be attracted to the idea of trying out a new challenge at this stage of his career, and a potential reunion with Guardiola will be hard to turn down as well.
