Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich is a sought-after man, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool all keen to sign him, but it won’t happen before the summer.
Manchester City are willing to wait until the summer to sign Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich on the cheap.
According to the Daily Star, the 28-year-old is at the top of manager Josep Guardiola’s transfer wish list, but the reigning champions are not the only one to attract their attention.
City’s main Premier League rivals Manchester United and Liverpool are also thought to be keeping an eye on Kimmich, who has played at the Allianz Arena for nearly a decade.
The German giants are now demanding at least £50m before parting ways with Kimmich.
However, he only has one year left to fulfill his contract before the end of the summer, meaning Bayern’s transfer fee could drop to £25m.
Thomas Tuchel’s side have all but given up hope of tying Kimmich to a contract extension.
The longer he stays at the club, the more Bayern will find themselves in a predicament of having to sell him cheap to avoid losing him on a free transfer within a year and a half.
half.
City are in no hurry to strengthen their midfield or defense, so they can comfortably wait until the summer before signing Kimmich.
Of course, City will have to consider other targets if United or Liverpool try to poach him from Bayern this month.
Apart from that, last season’s Champions League winner can certainly boast an advantage as Kimmich already worked with Guardiola when the City manager was still at Bayern.
