Liverpool have reportedly set their sights on Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich, with informal talks underway regarding a potential summer move.
Liverpool eye Joshua Kimmich as Bayern star edges towards free agency
According to German outlet TZ, the 29-year-old German international could be on his way to Anfield when his contract with the Bavarian giants expires at the end of the season.
Kimmich, who joined Bayern from RB Leipzig in 2015 for a modest £7.1 million, has since become one of the best midfielders in the world.
Over nearly a decade, he has secured eight Bundesliga titles, a UEFA Champions League trophy, and a host of other accolades, cementing his legacy as a midfield maestro.
While Bayern Munich are keen to extend their captain’s stay, Liverpool seem quietly confident of persuading Kimmich to begin a new chapter in the Premier League.
Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool have found their rhythm again, with an exciting midfield core led by Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister.
Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai have also been regular contributors, but the potential arrival of Kimmich could elevate the squad to new heights.
His signing would not only bring depth and experience but also allow Mac Allister to operate in a more attacking role, something fans have been eager to see.
Kimmich’s stats this season are a testament to his influence on the pitch. In 17 Bundesliga games, he’s contributed one goal and four assists while creating ten big chances.
His defensive work—6.6 ball recoveries and 1.7 tackles per game—underscores his all-around ability.
There’s another wrinkle to the story, with Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future at Anfield uncertain amid links to Real Madrid.
Kimmich’s versatility as a right-back could prove invaluable if the English star departs.
Meanwhile, Wataru Endo’s lackluster performances and rumored interest from clubs like AC Milan and Fulham may pave the way for Kimmich’s arrival.
Should the move materialize, Liverpool would gain a proven winner with the ability to anchor their midfield and inspire the next phase of their success.
