Liverpool’s interest in Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich has resurfaced, with reports suggesting that the German international could be on his way to Anfield for a fee of £25 million.
According to German source Schwabische Zeitung, Kimmich is being criticized for his performances this season despite his impressive track record of winning major titles with Bayern Munich. The report suggests that Kimmich may seek appreciation elsewhere, similar to Toni Kroos’s departure from Germany to become a “real legend.”
Liverpool is seen as an ideal destination for Kimmich, with the Reds reportedly starting talks and considering him as a potential replacement for Thiago Alcantara. Thiago, who arrived from Bayern Munich in 2020, has struggled with injuries during his time at Anfield.
Kimmich’s versatility in the defensive midfield role makes him a suitable candidate to fill Thiago’s shoes. With Thiago’s contract set to expire in the summer, Liverpool could secure Kimmich’s services for a reported fee of £25 million in July, as indicated by reports from The Daily Star.
The question remains: Should Liverpool agree to pay £25 million to secure Kimmich’s signing?
