Bayern Munich player, Joshua Kimmich, is reportedly set to snub Arsenal and Liverpool in favor of joining Manchester City. This move could potentially shake up the Premier League landscape.
According to a report by The Mirror, Kimmich is keen on reuniting with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City this summer. As he enters the final year of his contract with Bayern Munich, rumors have been swirling about a potential move to the Premier League.
Kimmich could be available for as low as £30 million this summer since he will become a free agent next year. Despite interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle United, it appears that his personal preference lies with the reigning Premier League champions.
Guardiola got best of Kimmich
The German midfielder's familiarity with Man City manager Pep Guardiola from their time together at Allianz Arena seems to be a significant factor in his decision. Having enjoyed success over the last decade at Bayern Munich, Kimmich is ready for new challenges in a different league.
Kimmich’s versatility on field - being able to play both as a midfielder and right-back - makes him an attractive prospect for Man City who are seeking reinforcements in their pursuit of a fifth straight Premier League title.
Despite winning eight Bundesliga titles with Bayern Munich, Joshua Kimmich has consistently declined offers to extend his contract at Allianz Arena which indicates his readiness for change.
Kimmich ideal for Manchester City setup
With Kimmich now willing to join them, it's up to Man City whether they want him or not. Given their smart moves in past transfer markets and considering the quality of player that they would be getting along with an affordable price tag attached – signing Joshua would indeed seem like an astute move by Guardiola & Co.
The potential transfer of Joshua Kimmich to Manchester City is a story that will be closely followed by sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts alike. His addition to the team could significantly boost Man City's chances of securing another Premier League title.
