Liverpool, Manchester City & PSG Interested in Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich, Per Reports

Bayern Munich might have a strenuous task of keeping hold of Joshua Kimmich come summer. The German defender has been under the radar of multiple European heavyweights, with teams vying for his signatures. While Manchester City is said to be the front-runner for his signatures, the race is heating up with rivals Liverpool and French champions PSG joining the race to bag his services.

Kimmich is reportedly disappointed with his current position at Bayern Munich. The German was one player who became close with former boss Julian Nagelsmann and was bewildered by the club’s decision to sack the manager. The player is looking for a way out of the club come June, despite higher-ups at Bayern hoping to keep hold of their star midfielder. With a player of his quality in the market, European clubs circle like eagles in the sky!

PSG and Liverpool contest Manchester City over Joshua Kimmich

Defending Premier League champions Manchester City might face stiff competition in the coming months, with the side hoping to land a deal for Bayern star Joshua Kimmich. According to reports, Liverpool and PSG are also interested in signing the player and could hijack City’s deal.

Manchester City is very keen on getting a deal in place with Kimmich, with Pep Guardiola said to be excited about bringing the midfielder to the Etihad Stadium. The Spaniard has worked alongside the player during his time with the Bavarians and believes the German perfectly fits his system at the club.

However, with Liverpool and PSG into the fray, things could take a turn in any direction. Moreover, Kimmich’s contract with Bayern expires in 2025. The side could decide to cash in on the player come summer, as he has yet to agree to sign a new deal with the club. The German star is reportedly frustrated with his position at the club and has not relished operating alongside Thomas Tuchel.

Bayern star not happy with Nagelsmann’s departure

The defending Bundesliga champions caught everyone by surprise last season as they terminated manager Julian Nagelsmann’s contract despite his success with the club. Even players in Bayern’s camp were caught off guard by the decision, as they believed Nagelsmann was the right man for the job.

Notably, Kimmich was among the players who verbally expressed his dissatisfaction following the manager’s departure, stating it was a surprise the club sacked Nagelsmann as he had not lost the locker room despite a rough string of games. Nagelsmann’s successor, Thomas Tuchel, has had a hard time winning over Kimmich, with his criticism of the player’s play style not helping his case either.
