- Kimmich could finally leave
- Bayern no longer view him as 'unsellable'
- Liverpool may be ideal suitors
WHAT HAPPENED? According to German media outlet Kicker, Bayern have decided that versatile stalwart Kimmich may now be sold if the price is right, with two years remaining on his deal at the Bavarian club.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Kimmich is the club's third captain, behind Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller, and was previously regarded as unsellable. But that seems to have changed and a whole host of clubs in the Premier League could now be looking into a possible move for the 28-year-old.
AND WHAT'S MORE: Liverpool may be the most suitable destination for Kimmich if Bayern do decide to sell this summer. Jurgen Klopp is currently in the process of overhauling his midfield, having signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai to fill the more attacking spots. Fabinho and Jordan Henderson look set to depart Anfield and Klopp is said to be targeting a No.6.
