Manchester United Joins Race for Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich Amid Contract Uncertainty

Manchester United are reportedly entering the race to secure the services of Bayern Munich’s versatile midfielder, Joshua Kimmich. The Red Devils are ready to contend with fellow Premier League powerhouses Liverpool and Manchester City in a bid to secure the signature of the talented German, according to recent reports.

As Manchester United addresses concerns in their No. 6 position, with Casemiro out injured and Sofyan Amrabat struggling since his arrival from Fiorentina, speculations are rife about a potential significant signing in the upcoming year. Spanish outlet AS has highlighted United’s interest in orchestrating a substantial move for Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich during the summer transfer window.

Joshua Kimmich on the Radar of Manchester United

Kimmich, currently navigating a contract debate with Bayern, faces an uncertain future with the club. The Bundesliga giants have communicated their stance on not offering him a new deal unless his on-field performances witness an upturn in the remainder of the season. With Kimmich’s contract set to expire in June 2025, Bayern risks selling him for a reduced price if a resolution is not reached.

Previously linked to Liverpool and Manchester City, Kimmich now sees Manchester United entering the bidding war for his coveted signature. The 28-year-old midfielder’s appeal extends beyond English borders, with Barcelona’s head coach, Xavi, expressing a long-standing admiration for his talent.
