Newcastle United has reportedly inquired about signing Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich.
Sources indicate that the Magpies, currently in search of a midfield addition, have openly communicated their interest in acquiring the German talent.
Despite Newcastle’s keen interest, it appears that a mid-season move for the 28-year-old midfielder may not materialize. Speculation suggests that Kimmich has declined the opportunity to make a mid-season transfer and instead expresses a preference to depart Bayern Munich at the conclusion of the current season.
While uncertainties loom over Kimmich’s potential move to Newcastle, one undeniable fact is the pressing need for the Magpies to address their midfield concerns.
With Eddie Howe contending with injuries and Sandro Tonali facing suspension due to alleged illegal betting activity, Newcastle’s hierarchy is compelled to secure at least one central replacement to fortify their squad.
Kimmich, a versatile player boasting 18 months remaining on his contract, has left an indelible mark during his nine-year tenure with Bayern Munich. With an impressive tally of 41 goals and 100 assists in 368 games across all competitions, the 28-year-old’s credentials make him an attractive prospect for Newcastle United as they navigate the challenges of player availability and strategic squad Reinforcement.
