Manchester City are eagerly looking to sign Bayern Munich’s No.6, Joshua Kimmich, as his contract with the Allianz Arena enters its final 18 months. The Daily Star reported that the club is keen on making the £25m summer move. This prospective transfer once again brings to light the possibility of Kimmich reuniting with his former coach, Pep Guardiola. Kimmich previously played under Guardiola at Bayern Munich and has expressed his admiration for the City manager.
During their time together at Bayern, Kimmich worked closely with Guardiola, and the Spaniard plucked him from RB Leipzig in a deal worth £6.4m back in 2015. Kimmich holds Guardiola in high regard, acknowledging the impact Guardiola had on his career. He even hinted at the possibility of working with Guardiola again, stating, “I know him and have a lot to thank him for. He took me from the second division and let me play in the Bundesliga. We won the double together and after that season, I became a player for Germany. So, of course, I won’t be against him coming back.”
This summer could potentially see the two reunite, with Kimmich having just 12 months left on his contract. The German international has been a crucial player for Bayern Munich and could be a significant addition to Manchester City. Standing at just 28, Kimmich still has a lot to offer and has been a vital player for Bayern Munich. At 5ft 10in, Kimmich can play as a central midfielder or right-back, playing a pivotal role in his team’s recent successes.
The potential signing of Joshua Kimmich by Manchester City and the prospect of him reuniting with Pep Guardiola will undoubtedly be a topic of interest as Premier League fans await updates on this intriguing transfer rumor.
