Liverpool have received a major boost in their pursuit for Bayern Munich mainstay Joshua Kimmich, a target for Arsenal and Barcelona.
According to a report by GiveMeSport, Liverpool are keen on having Joshua Kimmich in their ranks, and the 29-year-old Bayern Munich utility man is open to the idea of making a move to the Merseyside club in the upcoming summer transfer window. He is also a target for Arsenal and Barcelona.
Kimmich joined Bayern Munich in the summer of 2015 and has since gone from strength to strength. The 29-year-old has been an integral part of their success over the years, but he is considering parting ways at the end of the season.
Kimmich’s current situation at Bayern Munich
The German international has not had the best of seasons this time out. While his performances on the pitch have been decent, the team as a whole have struggled in the league, and the player has also had a rift with their manager Thomas Tuchel.
Bayern Munich have already announced that the former Chelsea boss will be leaving the club at the end of the season. As a result, Kimmich’s decision might depend on who takes charge of the club next season. Meanwhile, his current deal with Bayern runs out in the summer of 2025 and at this point in time, there is progress over a possible new deal for the German international.
If Kimmich decides to leave, Bayern will not stand in his way, and they are open to sanctioning his departure. With the 29-year-old still at his peak and capable enough to play as a right-back, a defensive midfielder or a central midfielder, there is no shortage of interest in him.
Joshua Kimmich to Liverpool?
Liverpool are one of the clubs keen on signing Kimmich. The Merseyside club underwent a major overhaul in the centre of the park last summer, which has helped them revive themselves. But, they still feel the need for another addition in the midfield, and Kimmich could be the best possible signing for them.
As per the report, the German international is open to a switch to Anfield, and it is a huge boost for the Reds in their pursuit. While the 29-year-old is ready to join Liverpool, the Merseyside club will face competition from Arsenal and Barcelona.
Arsenal and Barcelona stand in Liverpool’s way
The Gunners have done wonders under Mikel Arteta and are now planning to further bolster their squad in the summer. Kimmich is one of their targets and if he is up for sale, they will surely make a move.
As far as Barcelona are concerned, they are huge admirers of the 29-year-old. He will be a perfect fit for their system and amidst their ongoing financial crisis, he could be a great cost-effective option for them with his deal expiring in the summer of 2025.
