Michael Edwards could place Joshua Kimmich on top of his transfer shortlist ahead of the summer, with the midfielder’s future uncertain.
According to Fichajes, Michael Edwards could target a major signing to kick-start his reign at Liverpool and has Joshua Kimmich on his shortlist. The 29-year-old utility man faces an uncertain future at Bundesliga club Bayern Munich, as he is set to enter the final year of his deal.
Michael Edwards wants Joshua Kimmich
Should a player like Joshua Kimmich become available in the market, a number of top-level sides will battle it out for a player of that quality. The 29-year-old faces an uncertain future at Bayern Munich, which has already alerted a host of clubs, particularly in the Premier League.
Kimmich has been a mainstay at the Bundesliga club but may not hesitate to leave for a bigger challenge. The German international will acknowledge the massive following of other top clubs with suggestions in the media suggesting he is open to joining the Premier League should he leave Germany.
Liverpool and Manchester City are keen on the midfielder, as the incoming CEO of Football at the Merseyside club, Michael Edwards, has placed him on top of his transfer shortlist. The 44-year-old agreed to rejoin the Reds in a senior capacity and new role, which could give him the power to make decisions like signing a high-profile player like Kimmich.
The Merseysiders have been looking at a top-draw midfielder in the market despite a huge outlay last summer on four different midfielders. However, should a player like Kimmich become available, Liverpool are unlikely to look away and instead fight their rivals for the player, who could leave Bayern on a cut-price fee.
Will Joshua Kimmich Leave Bayern Munich?
As things stand, Bayern Munich will certainly not want a player like Kimmich to leave them and join one of their big European rivals. The German international’ situation is reminiscent to that of Toni Kroos, who went to Real Madrid when he entered the final year of his contract in Bavaria.
Kimmich’s current deal ends in 2025, with the report suggesting Bayern might be forced to sell him for as little as £25 million. In truth, the Bavarians have extracted much more for other renowned stars in their final year and will certainly demand significantly for Kimmich should they come to the point of selling him.
