At Atlético de Madrid, they still think they need to urgently sign a midfielder with special qualities. He must have experience in Europe , be an international and be able to play in several positions at the same time. He has a profile that dazzles not only the red-and-whites, but also other clubs on the continent. It is extremely difficult, given what he earns, for him to end up wearing the red-and-white shirt.
He belongs to Bayern Munich, with whom his contract expires in 2025, and for the moment, he has given the Bavarian club the runaround regarding his renewal. At the club, they dream of a possible arrival of him, although they are aware that there would be many impediments to it. Joshua Kimmich has not yet decided, although he is aiming to leave the Allianz Arena team, and Madrid could be an interesting destination for the German.
Although the team trying to get his services is FC Barcelona , captained by Hansi Flick , the Catalans see the German as the perfect replacement for Frenkie de Jong . The Dutchman has not recovered from his injuries, and his future is looking increasingly dark, or red, rather. Manchester United have tried by all means to take him and, at this moment, they are the clearest option for the future for the tulip.
Hansi Flick goes for it
The Blaugrana's finances would make it quite difficult for Hansi Flick to sign him, and that's where the red-and-white option comes in. It's a long shot, given the fee the German midfielder is paid, but it's not considered impossible, given that Julián Álvarez could have been signed. The problem with Joshua Kimmich is that, if he were to arrive on a free transfer, there are clubs willing to pay him whatever he wants.
No player is going to earn more than the 10 million that Jan Oblak already earns, and they are trying to reduce that contract. Then, many circumstances would have to come together for that to be possible, Diego Simeone , logically, loves the profile of the German. He is the type of player that he wants for the position that he considers almost the most important in the team, where he played a large part of his time as a player in his career.
Pep Guardiola wants to take him at all costs
Other clubs such as PSG and Manchester City are also keeping an eye on the final decision of the Bayern Munich youth player. Pep Guardiola brought him to a great level, and the Citizens' option is not at all far-fetched ; the red-and-white option is more complex. Simeone is clear that the German player's profile is the same and he is keeping an eye on the situation of the Bayern star.
It wouldn't be the first time that the Argentine has convinced him, as happened months ago with Julián Álvarez , although it is a completely different situation. So much so that the Calchín player's family came to live in Madrid , and the player was already thinking about the capital. The German is still mulling over his future, and Cholo Simeone will be following him very closely.
