Liverpool are one of the teams interested in Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich.
Reds have previously taken a cautious approach to Kimmich as his future at Bayern is in jeopardy.
Why the biggest clubs in Germany are relegatedThe German champions are now rumored to be ready to sell Kimmich after the 28-year-old fell out of favor under Thomas Tuchel.
That suggestion was backed up in a report this week by Spanish publication AS. They now say the midfielder is “likely to move away from Bayern”.
With that in mind, Liverpool and Manchester United have both made ‘inquiries’ for Kimmich, while the other has shown interest from Barcelona.
His contract runs until 2025 and Liverpool and Manchester United are expected to make bids for the Germany international next summer.
Liverpool at Kimmich Race
We don’t know what to say about this story. Ultimately, we expect Kimmich to decide on his future at Bayern and sign a new contract.
But as the situation worsens, there seems to be real uncertainty about what he will do next. From Liverpool’s perspective, it’s hard not to be excited about Kimmich’s future at Anfield.
After switching from right back, he has become one of the best midfielders in the world in recent years. As former manager Julian Nagelsmann told bundesliga.com in 2022, he is a “world-class” operator.
As a defensive midfielder, Kimmich could be exactly what the Reds need right now. The former RB Leipzig youth player is a midfielder who looks a lot like Liverpool’s Alexis McAllister.
Kimmich plays on the ball, is smart and tactically adept and may even serve as inspiration for Mac Allister to step into a deeper role this season.
As a result, we have seen similar moves coming around the world, with Thiago Alcantara at Bayern Munich in Germany.Some will object to this because of his age and salary potential.
If Kimmich is available, there will be plenty of competition for him. But this could be a real opportunity for Liverpool.
