Manchester United target Joshua Kimmich gives verdict on his Bayern Munich future
In what will come as a major jolt to Manchester United’s transfer plans, Joshua Kimmich spoke positively about his time at Bayern Munich, and his words likely reaffirmed his future with the club. The 29-year-old versatile defensive midfielder, who has constantly seen himself linked with a move to Manchester United, could prove to be a smart investment for the Red Devils.
Apart from his defensive midfield roles, he can seamlessly put in a shift as a right-back and can play advanced midfield roles as well; all of which is a reflection of his versatility and ability to play wherever the team wants him to.
However, as per Fabrizio Romano via Twitter, Kimmich spoke of his contract which has one more season to go, and also added how happy he is at the club and the city.
Can anything change his mind?
The German international is at this point in time, synonymous with Bayern Munich alongside Thomas Muller. In 30 appearances across all competitions this season, he has one goal and seven assists to his name.
For Manchester United, who have expressed interest in acquiring Kimmich’s services, these developments may come as a bitter blow to their transfer ambitions. Recognised as a player capable of elevating any team with his tactical intelligence and leadership qualities, Kimmich would undoubtedly have been a prized acquisition for the Red Devils as they seek to strengthen their midfield options.
However, with Kimmich reaffirming his commitment to Bayern Munich and expressing his satisfaction with life in the city, United may need to reassess their transfer targets and explore alternative options to bolster their squad. While the allure of playing in the Premier League may still hold appeal for Kimmich in the future, for now, it seems that his immediate focus remains firmly on achieving further success with Bayern Munich.

For Manchester United and their supporters, the prospect of luring a player of Kimmich’s calibre to Old Trafford may have to remain a distant hope for now. However, in the ever-unpredictable world of football, anything can happen, and the allure of the Premier League may yet prove too enticing for Kimmich to resist in the future.
