Recently, Joshua Kimmich has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, and this potential transfer could result in the departure of another player. As rumors surrounding the upcoming transfer market intensify, several names have emerged as potential additions to strengthen Real Madrid’s squad, with Kimmich now becoming a key target.
According to Bild, Real Madrid and Kimmich have been in contact, as the player has expressed interest in joining the club. Kimmich’s contract with Bayern Munich is set to expire on June 30, making him a significant option for next season. The player previously stated, “I don’t want to put myself under pressure by setting a date; the decision must be made in the next few months.” While Bayern is working to renew his contract, the negotiations have stalled, and Kimmich has been free to negotiate with other clubs since January 1.
Should Kimmich move to Madrid, the club’s president, Florentino Perez, may have to part ways with another player to make room for the German midfielder. In this scenario, it’s suggested that club legend Luka Modric could be the player to leave. The Croatian, who has made an indelible mark in Real Madrid’s history, is reportedly aware that the club does not intend to renew his contract next season if Kimmich joins. Perez views Kimmich as the future leader of the club’s midfield.
