Liverpool are potentially leading the race to sign Bayern Munich ace Joshua Kimmich for just £25 million this summer. The Reds are reportedly willing to offer him higher wages than fellow suitor Barcelona.
This financial commitment may have given Liverpool the edge in the pursuit of the Germany international, who is currently earning £318,000 per week at the Bundesliga giants. With Bayern Munich needing to sell or risk losing Kimmich for free next year, the transfer could be a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Kimmich is an outstanding footballer who has enjoyed a glittering career, winning eight Bundesliga titles and one Champions League crown, among numerous other trophies. His potential move to Liverpool could be a statement of real intent by the club. At 29 years old, Kimmich is an elite player capable of excelling at both right-back and central midfield. German legend Karl-Heinz
Rummenigge has praised Kimmich, saying, "It is no exaggeration to say that Joshua Kimmich is the very embodiment of world class. There's only one Joshua Kimmich, and we're very glad he plays at Bayern.
Similarly, Jose Mourinho has described Kimmich as "absolutely phenomenal," highlighting the player's exceptional talent. Kimmich's arrival at Liverpool could add invaluable experience and provide competition for Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back, though he would most likely be utilized primarily as a midfielder.
This signing could significantly bolster Liverpool's squad, enhancing their chances of competing for top honors in the coming seasons.
