It is a month of excitement for football fans with Euros, Copa America and the infamous summer transfer window. Another name in the recent transfer rumors is Joshua Kimmich. Liverpool are showing keen interest to bring the German from Bayern Munich.
Joshua Kimmich’s red hot form continues as Germany enter the quarterfinals of Euro 2024 by beating Denmark in RO16 in style. There are no surprises that Kimmich is playing vital role in these good performances for the Germany side. Kimmich’s adaptability in different styles of games shows his quality at his role and control of the whole midfield. He has been quality since he joined Bayern and there’s a reason why every team wants to sign him.
Joshua Kimmich the consistent warrior
Joshua Kimmich belongs to the undebatable category of “World class” players and there are less numbers of players who can play the way he plays and provide the qualities that he provides that is why we see him being linked to multiple clubs every year. At his current club Bayern, he has been amazing over the years and the club also want him to stay. Furthermore, his performance has not fallen much under any manager that has managed Bayern. Kimmich has been the vital and effective player for them.
There has been a change in managerial system of Bayern as Vincent Kompany is appointed as a new manager. It is there to see if the Belgian is looking forward to keep the player in the team or not but despite of that fact he has been linked to clubs like Barcelona, arsenal and Liverpool which is not surprising.
According to media the race to get him on board between the clubs is on. Clubs are also trying to approach him on personal terms, although that is not official. The race might be decided on the terms of money and according to the news it seems like Liverpool can get away with the deal as they are willing to pay more than other clubs. There are also possibilities of other clubs to enter the race.
Reds are desperate for the player?
Liverpool’s desperation is quite understandable as there has been loopholes in their midfield. The club has been struggling between quality of midfielders and the depth that particular position. departure of important and world class players like Fabinho, Millner, Henderson etc. have created a void in that particularly “no. 6” position. Liverpool were not able to fill the void last year despite of adding players like Szoboszlai, Mac Allister and Endo.
Jurgen Klopp’s successful years at Liverpool were not always the “success” and for that he had tried so many different experiments and one of them is using full backs in more and more centre like Trent. Kimmich is a very good Right back as well as we can see his initial days of his career was played at that position. this kind of versatility has been the style of play of Liverpool over the years which can really be helpful. Under Arne Slot, it is hard to guess if he wants to continue that style of play here.
Conclusion
Fans have always been in Kimmich’s side, and they would all want him to be part of their clubs. There has been an enthusiasm among the fans on this particular transfer as there has been a serious frustration about that midfield area among the fans especially since Fabinho has left. Although there has been a debate on who should be their priority position for new enforcements. And midfield is certainly among those, but the situation of Nunez, salah and other defenders are affecting the priority signings.
It would be very interesting to see what will happen with Kimmich this season. Is it another season of nothing but rumors or will something actually happen? I guess only time will tell.
