Manchester City is reportedly willing to pay €50 million to sign German midfielder Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich, as he nears the final year of his contract. Kimmich could be a valuable addition to City’s midfield, especially since other signings in that area haven’t proven very effective. However, despite City’s financial capability to make the deal happen, Kimmich’s preference seems to be to join Barcelona, who may try to include players like Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo in the deal to lower his price.
