Manchester City appears to be leading the charge in the pursuit to secure the services of Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich, leaving behind both Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The German international has made a significant mark as one of the world’s top right-backs and midfielders during his time at Bayern Munich.
He joined the Allianz Arena from VfB Stuttgart in July 2015 and has since amassed a collection of trophies, including the treble.
However, following a lackluster 2023–24 season, his future at Bayern Munich seems uncertain.
Kimmich has emerged as a top summer target for Real Madrid, while Barcelona also seeks to secure his services as they aim to find a replacement for Sergio Busquets.
Despite interest from other clubs such as Newcastle United, Liverpool, and Arsenal, Pep Guardiola is reportedly urging Manchester United City to sign Kimmich.
With a reported valuation of €60 million by Bayern Munich, Manchester City’s financial capability may enable them to secure this potential move.
Moreover, the prospect of reuniting with his former manager, Guardiola, could prove appealing to Kimmich.
