Arsenal and Chelsea among four Premier League teams offered ‘sensational’ midfielder wanted at Man City
We might only be in February but some of England’s biggest clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea, have already been contacted about signing one of the world’s top midfielders for nothing this summer.
With yet an♊other busy summer set to be upon the Premier League in no time at all, it will be interesting to see who goes out and strengthens the most.
As always, big clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea will be in the market for new faces, while Pep Guardioꦰla is in the middle of a Man City rebuild.
Indeed, those four clubs are worth noting when it comes to the future of Bayern Munich star, Joshua Kimmich.
Arsenal among four clubs contacted about Joshua Kimmich
TBR Football’s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey can confirm that Joshua K🥀immich’s suitors have been informed of his latest situation and it is seemingly good news for them. 30-year-old Kimmich and his representatives have been locked in talks with Bayern over a new contract for months.
Bayern believed they had offered Kimmich a long-term deal that they thought would be hard to turn down. However, an agreement has not been reached and Bayern have informed Kimmich that they ꦰhave stepped away and their offer is no longer on the table.
TBR Football understands that Kimmich and his camp have bene left surprised by Bayern’ౠs🃏 action but talks over his future are continuing with his many foreign suitors.

A move to England remains a distinct possibility for Kimmich where he could yet be reunited with the man who he has waxed lyrical about in the shape of Pep Guardiola.
City are one of the clubs who have held talks with Kimmich since January, as are Liverpool and both are lo🎃ng-term admirers of the German star. Aཧrsenal and Chelsea have also been contacted.
Real Madrid and Inter Milan are amongst the sides also showing an interest as the prospect of landing Kimm🥀ich has increased with his chances of staying in Germany having rescinded dramatically. However, sources close to Kimmich have refused to rule out the prospect that Bayern could yet return to the negotiating table.
What Pep Guardiola has said about Joshua Kimmich
The German has been one o♌f the stars of European football for a number of years now and it’s little surprise to see he’s impressed a number of coaches.
One of those coaches who is a fan of Kimmich is current Man City boss, Pep Guardiola. Indeed, Guardiola loved managing the German, and labelled him as ‘sensation🉐al’ while in charge of Bayern.
“You played sensational, Josh. You’re good ꧂– very good. I told you that you could do it,🦂 I told you,” after a 0-0 draw with Dortmund.
With City confident of adding new players in the summer, it will b꧅e interesting to see if an experienced face like Kimm🙈ich is welcomed to the club.
