Despite both the club and the player insisting that his future lies with Bayern Munich, mutterings of a departure this summer have begun to surface once more as Thomas Tuchel eyes a squad overhaul. Read below as we run through who are the favourites in the current Joshua Kimmich next club odds market.
German outlet Kicker have this morning suggested that Joshua Kimmich, who has spent the better part of a decade at Bayern Munich, is no longer viewed as untouchable by the club’s new hierarchy.
After being pushed all the way to the Bundesliga‘s final round by Borussia Dortmund, Bayern have set in motion an overhaul from top to bottom, with key senior figures such as club legend Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic being dismissed.
Having already added Raphael Guerreiro, Konrad Laimer and Kim Min-Jae to the ranks, Tuchel’s vision for the future is clear.
A strong interest in Harry Kane has also seen them lodge two bids in recent weeks, but it seems the club are prepared to let several key squad members leave for the right price after Lucas Hernandez departed for PSG.
As mentioned, an important bid for Kimmich could turn heads at Bayern as the club look to fund further additions.
The 28-year-old has long been labelled as one of the world’s best, whether he is operating as a right-sided full-back or in his preferred position as a traditional ‘6’.
Pep Guardiola’s tactical imprint is clear to see, and Kimmich’s smooth, slick style is usually carried out without much exertion.
Barcelona’s president Joan Laporta has publicly expressed their interest in the past, with manager Xavi often referencing his style as ‘compatible’ with how he wants his team to play.
Economic constraints from years of gross misconduct will likely prevent them from making an approach this summer, although they are still handed the shortest price in the ‘next club’ odds market.
Elsewhere, Liverpool will need to find a suitable replacement for Fabinho, who appears destined to join the Saudi revolution in the coming weeks. There are not many better players in world football than Kimmich, and this previously unforeseen market opportunity may tempt Liverpool.
