Liverpool Target Joshua Kimmich ‘Free to Leave’ Bayern Munich Amid Everton TwistThe transfer saga surrounding Joshua Kimmich has taken a surprising turn, with the Bayern Munich star reportedly “free to leave” the club this summer. Liverpool has been linked with a move for the German international, and the latest developments could pave the way for a potential transfer.According to Florian Plettenberg, Kimmich is allowed to leave Bayern if a suitable offer is made, with the club having no plans to extend his contract beyond 2025. The 29-year-old has been impressing at right-back and in central midfield, making him a versatile option for Liverpool manager Arne Slot.
However, the Reds may not be the only ones interested in Kimmich’s services. Manchester City, Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are also reportedly on the list of potential destinations. Kimmich’s wage demands are likely to be high, given his world-class status, but Liverpool may be willing to listen if the player is keen on a move to Anfield.Interestingly, Everton could play a role in Kimmich’s potential transfer.
Bayern Munich is said to be interested in Amadou Onana as a cheaper alternative to Joao Palhinha, which could lead to Kimmich’s departure. While Liverpool may not be directly involved in this aspect, the Toffees’ potential involvement could influence the transfer market.The question remains whether Liverpool would be willing to meet Kimmich’s demands, given his age and high wages. The club may prioritize younger talent with a longer shelf life, rather than a short-term solution.
Nevertheless, Kimmich’s quality is undeniable, and his addition would bolster Liverpool’s squad.As the transfer window heats up, Liverpool fans will be keeping a close eye on developments surrounding Kimmich and other potential targets. With pre-season approaching, Slot will need to finalize his plans and make key decisions on strengthening the squad. Whether Kimmich becomes a Liverpool player remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – the transfer saga will continue to unfold in the coming weeks.
