Liverpool could sign Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.
He was unhappy at Bayern after falling out with Germany coach Thomas Tuchel, who played 82 games for his country.
There has been speculation in recent days that Chelsea could be the team to sign him, but Jacobs said Jurgen Klopp’s side and Manchester United are likely suitors.”I don’t know Kimmich or Chelsea, but I’ve seen some references.
From Chelsea’s point of view, the profile of the player is not what they’re looking for at the moment, he’s 28. “I know he’s versatile, but I’ve always been told that the club I have to look at is probably Liverpool.” Nothing has developed.
Neither have Manchester United, but I’ve never heard of Kimmich and Chelsea making progress. The Reds’ interest in the 28-year-old Several factors have been cited to explain . Jurgen Klopp could be his compatriot and there is still room for six more players in the squad.
However, the reason Kimmich is currently off the radar at Bayern is that Tuchel believes he cannot play as a midfielder in his own right. If he moves to Anfield, that is exactly the role he can play.
The No.6 role might not suit the Germany international, but there is another position that could fit into Liverpool’s starting XI.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been deployed as an inverted right-back for the past nine months and will need to be replaced if he is to move into midfield on a permanent basis. Kimmich started as a right-back but is equally comfortable in midfield, which could make him a perfect fit for both the player and Liverpool.
