Liverpool reportedly want to sign 29-year-old Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich before the new season begins.
Joshua Kimmich has been linked with the move away from Bayern Munich, and Liverpool are currently the front-runners to sign him. It will be interesting to see if they can agree on a deal with the German giants for the versatile midfielder. According to a report by SPORT via Paisley Gates, Barcelona are keen on the player as well, but Liverpool are ready to offer him a higher salary.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can secure an agreement with the German club. The 29-year-old has the experience and the quality to transform Liverpool in the middle of the park, and he would be a quality acquisition.
He has been a key player for club and country over the years. His ability to slot into multiple roles and perform at a high level would make him an asset for Liverpool. The German international has been linked with Manchester City as well.
Liverpool could use Joshua Kimmich
The Reds need to sign a quality defensive midfielder, and the 29-year-old certainly fits the profile. He will help protect the defensive unit and break up opposition attacks. Kimmich is an exceptional passer from the deep, and he would add a new dimension to the Liverpool midfield as well.
Liverpool have parted ways with Thiago Alcantara, and they need to replace him adequately. Although Kimmich is a different player in terms of skill set, he could be the ideal fit for Liverpool next season. The midfielder is at the peak of his powers and he will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can get the transfer across the line. The German international is capable of operating as the right back as well, and his versatility will be an added bonus for the Premier League giants.
The midfielder is reportedly valued at €30 million and it could prove to be a major bargain if Liverpool can sign him for that price. Kimmich certainly has the quality to justify the investment. Meanwhile, Liverpool have the financial resources to outmuscle Barcelona in the race, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
The Blaugrana are going through financial limitations and they could struggle to compete with the Premier League club. Barcelona need to bring in a quality defensive midfielder, and Kimmich could be the ideal replacement for club legend Sergio Busquets.
