Inter Linked to Possibly Outbound Bayern Munich Star | OneFootball

Inter are reportedly among the teams keeping an eye on Joshua Kimmich, who’s undecided about renewing his Bayern Munich contract that runs out in June. The Bavarians have withdrawn their offer and will let him explore the market, but the parties will remain in touch, Bild reports (via OneFootball).

PSG and Liverpool are among his suitors, especially the Ligue 1 powerhouse, which tried to lure him to France in previous windows. He declined a couple of times, but he could change his mind next summer.

Inter aren’t a particularly likely destination because Kimmich might prefer other leagues and due to his massive wages. He makes €10M, €1M than the highest-paid player in the Nerazzurri squad, Lautaro Martinez.

Bayern Munich are expected to make a final push to keep their stalwart in the next couple of months. He has been with them since 2015 after breaking out at Stuttgart. He has scored once and provided 10 assists this campaign. The 30-year-old has amassed 426 appearances with the Bavarians, hitting the net 43 times and dishing 113 helpers. He has almost 100 caps with Germany, which he captains.

Our Take on Inter and Kimmich

Agents and intermediaries touch base with every team when a player of his caliber could move on a free, but it’d be stunning if he ended up with them because of his salary and their manifest intention of getting younger. They haven’t been active when it comes to veteran free agents since Oaktree has taken over from Steven Zhang. They had already bagged at least one at this time of the year in previous campaigns. It’s also a sign that they’ll have more resources to spend on fees.
