Joshua Kimmich is reportedly eyeing a departure from Bayern Munich this summer, as his rapport with Thomas Tuchel has deteriorated.
The German national has been linked with a transfer away from the Allianz Arena this summer, as it seems that he has fallen out of favor with Thomas Tuchel.
Kimmich has been one of Bayern Munich’s standout performers in recent times, but in the team’s last six matches, the midfielder has completed the full 90 minutes only twice.
In Bayern’s most recent game (a 3-2 loss to Bochum, who are currently in 11th place), Kimmich was substituted in the 63rd minute and displayed visible frustration while sitting on the bench.
The Bundesliga champions currently occupy second place in the standings and trail Bayer Leverkusen by eight points, which means their streak of winning 11 consecutive league titles may be coming to an end.
Bayern acquired Joshua Kimmich in 2015 and since then, the 29-year-old has amassed over 300 appearances, winning the Champions League, eight league titles, three DFB Pokals, and six German Super Cups.
According to BILD, Kimmich believes that there has been a lack of respect and that his relationship with Thomas Tuchel is deteriorating.
The German midfielder has been linked with moves to other clubs in recent years, with Manchester City and Liverpool both being mentioned.
A potential reunion with Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium could be in the cards, as the Spaniard was the one who brought Kimmich to Munich.
A move to Liverpool seemed plausible due to the German connection with Jurgen Klopp, but with the veteran manager’s recent announcement of his departure from Anfield at the end of this season, a transfer appears unlikely.
Xabi Alonso has been linked with the managerial position at Liverpool and the Spaniard has a history with Kimmich, having played together for Bayern Munich from 2015 to 2017.
