PSG target Joshua Kimmich after giving up on Benfica wonderkid Joao Neves as Bayern 'open door' to Germany star's exit

Kimmich, who has been a stalwart at Bayern Munich, is now in the final 12 months of his contract at the Allianz Arena. Despite his pivotal role in the team, there has been no agreement on a new deal. This contractual uncertainty has piqued the interest of several top European clubs.

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1809133362206158913" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a>, PSG have decided to pursue Kimmich after their efforts to sign Neves from Benfica hit a dead end. Luis Enrique is reportedly a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/joshua-kimmich-addresses-questions-bayern-munich-future-telling-barcelona-real-madrid-admission/blt67ceb0c7844531e4" target="_blank">big admirer of Kimmich</a> as the manager values the midfielder's versatility, leadership qualities, and technical prowess - making him a prime target for the French club. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/joshua-kimmich-ranking-bayern-munich-star-best-landing-spots-man-city-barcelona-target-prepares-real-madrid-champions-league/blt2f53697e681fd769" target="_blank">Barcelona have also been linked with Kimmich</a> but it appears that the club's immediate focus is on securing the services of Nico Williams.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Bayern are expected to finalize the signing of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/summer-transfer-window-2024-biggest-deals-graded/bltb5140452dc1fa543" target="_blank">Joao Palhinha from Fulham soon</a>. This acquisition could facilitate Kimmich's departure, as the German champions restructure their midfield. Kimmich's potential sale would also help them fund a significant portion of their expenditure on the Portuguese midfielder as Fulham have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/joao-palhinha-bayern-munich-portugal-star-join-harry-kane-allianz-arena-fulham-agree-transfer-vincent-kompany/bltc0cc61ef6c606265" target="_blank">reportedly agreed to a €46m (£38m/$48m) deal.</a>

DID YOU KNOW?

Despite PSG's strong interest, they may face stiff competition for Kimmich's signature. Clubs like Manchester City are also in the race as the midfielder's proven track record and skill set make him a coveted asset for any top-tier European club. With ongoing negotiations and multiple clubs vying for his signature, the German star's future remains one of the most intriguing storylines of the current transfer season.
