Should Manchester City move for Joshua Kimmich?

Joshua Kimmich is a wanted man. The Bayern Munich midfielder appears to be at a crossroads as his contract expires in Bavaria. With a year left on his deal, there have been no talks of an extension. That opened the door for speculation about the player’s future.

David Alaba left Bayern for Real Madrid in 2021 when the German side were unable to agree a new deal with the player.

As a new era begins at the club under Vincent Kompany, a similar scenario may be about to unfold.

Given his quality, it’s understandable that several European heavyweights are lining up to land the player at the first opportunity. Liverpool, Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United and even Manchester City have been rumored to be interested.

City made a number of signings last summer to rejuvenate their midfield after Kalvin Phillips fell out of favor with the manager and former captain Ilkay Gundogan left for Barcelona.

It seems the midfield was no stronger for it. Mateo Kovacic has improved after a poor start, but Matheus Nunes has struggled all season to fit into the side. City managed to retain their Premier League title at the end of the season, but Rodri was overworked in the process.

With Kevin De Bruyne’s future uncertain at the moment, bolstering the midfield with a player like Kimmich would be the right move.

But there is one aspect of this that will make such a perfect signing for Manchester City. Kimmich is well educated in the Guardiola way. The Catalan manager made his debut for Bayern. Having developed his game under Guardiola, this will be a perfect reunion.

His quality as one of the best midfielders in the world will make him the right addition to strengthen a team in a role that has many opponents fighting to topple them.
