Liverpool intend to reach out again to Bayern Munich star, with the giants ‘deeply concerned’

Bayern Munich are said to be “seriously worried” about the possibility of losing Joshua Kimmich, as Liverpool plans to contact him again soon, marking their second attempt.

Kimmich, a key figure in Bayern’s lineup, is only outdone in seniority by Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer. He is also one of the club’s top earners. Despite his importance to the team, with 10 goal contributions in 31 matches this season, Kimmich’s contract expires at the end of the season, raising the prospect of his departure.

According to Caught Offside, Liverpool initially approached the German midfielder in early January with the intention of securing him on a free transfer in the summer, and are planning to reach out once more “soon.” Reports suggest Kimmich is “leaning towards” a move to England, but no final decision has been made yet.

The report also indicates that Bayern are “seriously worried” about losing Kimmich, as they continue their efforts to convince him to sign a new contract.

Kimmich will have alternative choices.

Kimmich is expected to have multiple options. Manchester City, another Premier League club, is reportedly interested in him, offering a potential easy move to the Citizens. Additionally, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are considered other possibilities.

For Real Madrid, Kimmich is seen as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, whom they’ve aggressively pursued but might not secure. The Spanish club is reportedly frustrated with the slow pace of talks with Liverpool over the right-back and could shift their focus to Kimmich.

Should he move to Liverpool, Kimmich would likely strengthen their midfield, as he most often plays as a holding midfielder for Bayern. This is especially true if Alexander-Arnold remains at right-back. However, Kimmich has also played as a right-back throughout his career, including for Germany, and Real Madrid would consider using him in that position if they fail to land Alexander-Arnold.

Liverpool Update: Reds Pursuing Brahim Diaz

In other Liverpool transfer news, the club is reportedly prioritizing the signing of Brahim Diaz from Real Madrid in the summer window. Liverpool is also expected to move on from their pursuit of Martin Zubimendi and focus on Frenkie de Jong. With Barcelona’s contract talks with the Dutchman stalled, Liverpool might have a good chance of securing him.

Despite speculation, it is not believed that Alisson will leave Liverpool, even with the arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili in the summer to compete for the No. 1 spot.
