It has been reported that Manchester City are internally confident that Joshua Kimmich could sign for them in the summer.
This comes from journalist Graeme Bailey on TEAMtalk, after the 28-year-old was linked with a move to City back in May.
Now, it seems like Manchester City back themselves to secure the services of Bayern Munich maestro Joshua Kimmich.
Journalist: Manchester City are confident of securing Joshua Kimmich transfer in 2024
Branded as ‘world-class’ by Hansi Flick (via Bundesliga’s official website), the German international’s current contract expires in 2025.
As a result, one can fathom why there is uncertainly surrounding his future at the Allianz Arena.
Now, it has indeed been revealed that Manchester City are hoping that Joshua Kimmich makes a move to the Premier League next season as they are ‘confident’ that he will end up signing for them.
In addition, Bayern are said to be hopeful that the decorated midfielder signs a new contract but he is believed to be weighing up his options.
Pep Guardiola also seems to view Joshua Kimmich as an ‘ideal addition’ at Manchester City due to his expertise in both central midfield and at right-back.
Graeme Bailey also added by disclosing what he has been informed about the potential move by sources at the Etihad Stadium, saying, “I am told that whether Kimmich is willing to move away from Bayern, that is the main question that is concerning City and others who are interested.”
“If he does show that willing – then expect a major push.”
Joshua Kimmich would be a truly elite signing
If Manchester City manage to pull off a move for Joshua Kimmich, there are not enough adjectives to emphasize how stunning a coup that would be.
To sign an experienced player who has completed club football, worked under Pep Guardiola in the past and can provide excellent cover at right-back, in defensive midfield and further forward would be the dream for any club.
Joshua Kimmich is simply one of the best players in the world and would instantly take the Sky Blues to another level if he signs for them.
