Back in January, Paris Saint-Germain showed a desire to bring Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich, but at the time it was not a realistic option. The player’s representatives then told the Saints that Kimmich was not interested in moving to Parc des Princes. PSG did not take offense and replied that they will try again in the summer…Their own ‘child’ brought them the biggest heartache – now they want him back?!In the meantime, a lot was happening. Kimmich entered the last year of his contract with Bayern and did not extend it. PSG shifted their focus to other markets and Joao Neves from Benfica became their main target. However, the Lisbon club maintained that the young midfielder can only go if someone pays the buyout clause in the amount of 100,000,000 euros. PSG consider it too expensive, and the competition from Manchester United, who is also interested, does not suit them.PSG have revived their interest in Joshua Kimmich and are trying to reach an agreement with the player. Bayern have opened the door for a potential sale [@FabriceHawkins] pic.twitter.com/ngD3dPDbwb— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) July 4, 2024 So the French club again turned to Kimmich, whom Luis Enrique highly values, but the problem was that the German was not enthusiastic about the Saints’ interest. He even told his agents to narrow down the list to five potential clubs where he can imagine himself: Manchester City (if Guardiola stays), Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona. None of those clubs have shown interest so far, except for Barca, who do not have the money to bring him.##NAJAVA_MECA_8192887##That’s why Kimich now has to think about moving to Paris. It is up to the French club to convince Kimmich and his agents, and the push behind the whole story is Enrique, who sees Kimmich as one of the leaders of the team. If the player agrees, then negotiations will follow with Bayern, who are willing to part with the long-time first team player. Of course, at the right price. Given that Kimmich’s contract expires in a year, the Bavarians don’t have much bargaining power in their hands and can’t really negotiate a high price.
