Liverpool are supposedly getting closer to signing Joshua Kimmich as Bayern Munich are willing to sell the experienced German international.
Liverpool are going through a squad rebuild this summer and this has been one of the biggest transfer window for the club in the recent past.
At the start of the window, the Reds allowed players like James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita to move for free.
With wages freed up, the Merseysiders went to sign two highly promising midfielders, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szobozslai. However, the club will also be losing many experienced midfielders this summer.
Club captain Jordan Henderson and reliable No. 3 of the club, Fabinho, both will be moving to Saudi Arabia. Moreover, another midfielder Thiago reportedly might also leave Anfield this summer.
So in this situation, the Anfield giants need to sign a midfielder with a good amount of experience. Although the names of Romeo Lavia, Cheick Doucoure, and others have emerged, still these players lack the much-needed experience.
Bayern to sell Joshua Kimmich, Liverpool to pounce upon the opportunity
According to a new report via Fichajes, Bayern Munich will be selling Joshua Kimmich and the player is also willing to leave the club. The German midfielder has been serving the club for the past 8 years.
As a result of their decision, Liverpool are set to ‘submit a proposal’ to sign the 28-year-old. The report also suggested that the Reds believe the proposal might result in the move being ‘finalized’.
As the German giants look forward to signing Harry Kane this summer, they need to gather some money by selling players. And among many players being transfer-listed, Kimmich is also one of them.
The most effective signing at this stage for Liverpool would be Joshua Kimmich. His experience and versatility can improve the team going into a new season.
The Bayern star can comfortably play in both the defensive-midfielder and right-back positions. And Klopp’s idea of playing Trent Alexander-Arnold in the midfield as a deep-lying playmaker will also succeed.
Kimmich has appeared for the Bavarians in 347 matches across all competitions. He has scored 40 goals, assisted 94, and also has a great defensive record. The German international averaged 1.5 tackles and 1.2 interceptions throughout his Bayern career.
Bayern will sell Joshua Kimmich if they receive a transfer fee worth around £56M. Although it might be a little high for Liverpool having spent £95M in the previous signings.
However, the club should absolutely pounce upon this opportunity and sign the experienced midfielder.
An ardent football fan and a proud Red. I take immense pleasure in analyzing the intricacies of the game.
