Manchester City are reportedly keen on Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich, a target for Arsenal, Liverpool, and Real Madrid.
Joshua Kimmich has been linked with a move to the Premier League, and clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool are keen on him as well. A report from TEAMtalk has claimed that Real Madrid are hoping to sign the German international, who will cost around £65 million, as well.
The 28-year-old defensive midfielder could prove to be a quality acquisition for Manchester City if they can get the deal done. They have Rodri as the sole defensive midfielder at the club right now and need more depth in that position.
Kalvin Phillips has failed to live up to the expectations since joining the club from Leeds United, and he is currently on loan at West Ham United. He is expected to be sold permanently in the summer.
Kimmich would be the ideal fit for Manchester City
Kimmich could prove to be the ideal acquisition for Manchester City. He has played under Pep Guardiola during their time together at Bayern Munich and knows the Spanish manager’s style of play. He should be able to fit in quickly and make an instant impact next season.
The midfielder is reportedly valued at £65 million, and Manchester City certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done. Meanwhile, Arsenal need a quality replacement for Thomas Partey, and the German international certainly fits the profile. It will be interesting to see if they can beat Manchester City to his signature.
As far as Liverpool are concerned, they tried to sign a quality defensive midfielder at the start of the season and were willing to play a club record fee for Moises Caicedo. Caicedo ended up joining Chelsea and Liverpool are yet to sign a specialist defensive midfielder. Kimmich would be a quality acquisition for them. He is a proven performer for club and country, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Real Madrid could use midfield reinforcements as well, and the 28-year-old will be an attractive target for them. All four clubs can pay a premium for the German international, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. Pep Guardiola is reportedly pushing the Premier League champions to sign the player and given their resources, they are likely to be one of the favourites.
