Premier League heavyweights Liverpool have reportedly approached the representatives of 29-year-old Bayern Munich utility man Joshua Kimmich over a Bosman move.
According to a report by Sacha Tavolieri on Sky Sport Switzerland, Joshua Kimmich is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are scouring the market for a right-back amid uncertainties surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s long-term future. So, they have contacted the entourage of the 29-year-old Bayern Munich utility man over a possible Bosman move this summer.
The rise and rise of Joshua Kimmich
Joshua Kimmich has established himself as one of the best players in the world since joining Bayern Munich from VfB Stuttgart in July 2015. The experienced footballer has been a utility man throughout his stint with the Bundesliga giants, excelling as a reight-back and a holding midfielder in the last nine and a half years.
The 29-year-old has gone from strength to strength throughout his stint with Bayern Munich, turning out over 400 times thus far for the Bavarian giants while chipping in with 43 goals and 113 assists. However, Kimmich’s long-term future at the Allianz Stadium is uncertain after entering the final six months of his contract with the Bundesliga heavyweights.
Kimmich’s contract situation at Bayern Munich means he can open talks with foreign clubs over a pre-contract agreement. Meanwhile, the Bavarian giants are eager to tie Kimmich to a new deal. The German international does not have a shortage of suitors pursuing his signature, with Liverpool among the clubs keen on signing him in the summer transfer window.
Premier League adventure beckoning?
Liverpool’s interest in Joshua Kimmich is understandable. The Reds are in a spot of bother over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s long-term future. The English international has entered the final six months of his contract, with Real Madrid keen on sealing a Bosman move in the summer transfer window.
So, Liverpool should scour the market for a right-back, with Kimmich emerging as a viable target. Despite the player’s age profile, the German international can be a top-notch addition to the first-team squad at Anfield, with the Reds contacting his entourage over a possible Bosman move.
Kimmich will assess all options before deciding whether he wants to continue at Bayern Munich or embark on a new adventure. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can convince the 29-year-old utility man to arrive in the Premier League in the summer transfer window.
