Fabrizio Romano reveals the most likely scenario of current Bayern Munich and Germany star Joshua Kimmich following Bayern-Joao Palhinha deal.
Bayern Munich are close to finalising the signing of Joao Palhinha from Fulham for an initial fee of €51 million, which could increase up to €56m if all the add-ons are met.
The Portugal midfielder has recently exited at Euro 2024 with his national team and is set for a four-year reign for the Bavarians.
Bayern were close to signing Palhinha last season, but the deal collapsed as Fulham couldn’t find a replacement for Palhinha.
Joao Palhinha’s Arrival Could Upset A Departure?
Palhinha’s arrival could trigger the exit of Liverpool target Joshua Kimmich, whose contract ends in 2025 and a departure wouldn’t be a surprise for the German midfielder.
Kimmich, who turned 29 a few months ago, is available between €30 and €40 million Euros. According to reports, Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the options which Joshua Kimmich has considered.
Fabrizio Romano believes that Joao Palhinha’s arrival would have a big impact on Joshua Kimmich’s immediate future with Bayern having signed their desired midfielder. Fabrizio had this to say when asked about Kimmich’s future by Caughtoffside:
“There has been a lot of speculation about Joshua Kimmich in particular as he’s in the final year of his contract at Bayern now, and some fans have asked me if Palhinha’s arrival means he’s replacing him.
Let’s see what happens because Bayern have still a chance to extend Kimmich’s contract. Still, the most likely scenario at the moment is for Kimmich to leave and try a new experience, it will also depend on proposals because Kimmich will explore all the options available to him after the Euros.”
