Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich in the summer transfer window. Despite interest from Barcelona, Kimmich is said to favor a move to the Camp Nou. Bayern Munich have been trying to renew his contract, but if he does not sign an extension, they may make him available in the market for at least €50m. Manchester City, led by former Bayern coach Pep Guardiola, are prepared to meet this asking price and could make an offer to convince Kimmich to join them.

Kimmich himself has expressed his focus on the Champions League clash against Real Madrid and has not openly discussed his contract renewal or potential move to Spain. The midfielder has stated that he will first speak with Bayern about his future before considering any other options. Bayern are reportedly interested in Barcelona players Frenkie De Jong and Ronald Araújo, and could potentially include Kimmich in a deal to sign one of them. It remains to be seen whether Manchester City will be successful in convincing Kimmich to leave Bayern for the Premier League.

Overall, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining Joshua Kimmich’s future. As Bayern Munich continue their efforts to renew his contract, Manchester City and Barcelona remain keen on signing the talented midfielder. With Kimmich reportedly open to a move to Manchester City, the Premier League club could be in a strong position to secure his signature if they can meet Bayern’s asking price. The situation is complicated by Barcelona’s interest and Kimmich’s own preference for the Camp Nou, making the midfielder a key player to watch in the upcoming transfer window.
