Man City could secure a sensational transfer this summer as Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich is looking to leave the Bundesliga club, and it could come at a discounted price.
There has been ongoing tension throughout the season between the German midfielder and his manager Thomas Tuchel, and BILD has now reported that the 29-year-old intends to depart Bayern at the end of the season.
According to the German outlet, Kimmich’s desire to leave stems from his strained relationship with the former Chelsea boss, feeling that he has been treated disrespectfully on multiple occasions during the current campaign.
The Germany international is a key figure at the Allianz Arena but has frequently been substituted early and was even left on the bench for Bayern’s crucial match against Bayer Leverkusen recently.

This news will undoubtedly capture the attention of Man City, as the reigning Premier League champions are said to be interested in acquiring Kimmich’s services.
According to the Mirror, the Manchester-based club is prepared to make a move for the Bayern Munich midfielder in the upcoming summer transfer window. It is believed that Kimmich is unlikely to sign a new contract with the German giants. The Bundesliga side initially demanded £50m for the 29-year-old in January, but in the summer, City could potentially secure his services for a mere £25m.
Completing this deal would be a significant coup for Man City, as Kimmich is widely regarded as one of the finest midfielders in global football. Under the guidance of Pep Guardiola at the Etihad, his talents would undoubtedly flourish.
Barcelona has also shown interest in the Bayern Munich star, but given their financial constraints, City would be the frontrunners should he choose to depart the German champions.
