Liverpool They are reportedly planning to step up their efforts to sign Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich ahead of next season, according to the German journalist. christian falk.
The 29-year-old will enter the final year of his current contract but has yet to sign an extension with the Bavarian club. Therefore, speculation about his future has continued to grow ahead of the summer window and it seems that Liverpool are planning to sign the midfielder taking advantage of his current situation.
speaking in image(through sports witness), Falk has reported that Liverpool are interested in signing the German international and are keen to lure him to Anfield during the off-season, regardless of who will be manager next season.
The journalist further claims that if Bayern fail to secure the midfielder a new contract in the coming months and Liverpool offer him a key role, then the Reds could convince him to move to Anfield this summer.
Kimmich to Liverpool
Falk said:
“As is well known, Jürgen klopp He is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, but that does not change the plans they want, at least trying to get Kimmich interested in Liverpool FC.
“His first contact would be Bayern, but if they can't reach an agreement, or if they say that in the future he could only be a right-back, we can't promise it nor will the new coach be able to say it.” So it's interesting when a club like Liverpool turn up and say: 'watch out, you'll be playing number six for us.'
“So they will move on and nothing has changed just because Klopp moves, Liverpool follow Kimmich's career a lot.”
Kimmich: valued at around £64 million per Transfer market – is considered one of the best midfielders in the world. Therefore, it would be a big coup for Liverpool if they bought him.
However, having recently revamped their midfield department, the Merseyside club are currently well equipped in this position, so they do not need to spend a huge amount to sign another midfielder this summer.
But it will be interesting to see if Liverpool ultimately opt to take a concrete approach to signing Kimmich if he leaves the Allianz Arena before next season.
