The path appears clear for Manchester City to move for a German midfielder | OneFootball

One of the major needs for Manchester City this summer in the transfer market is support for Rodri. City’s midfield general carries a heavy workload for the world champions. A new report suggests that Manchester City’s path to finding support for Rodri may have opened up.

Harry Pratt and Samuel Meade have reported for the Mirror that Joshua Kimmich is determined to join Manchester City this summer. They further report that the German international wants to be reunited with former manager Pep Guardiola. Furthermore, Pratt and Meade report that Kimmich only has 12 months remaining on his current deal with Bayern Munich. They add that Kimmich may potentially be available to buy for £30 million this summer. Finally, Pratt and Meade add that Liverpool and Arsenal are also interested in Kimmich. But they add that despite this Kimmich desires a move to Manchester City.

Joshua Kimmich is looming as Manchester City’s man to support Rodri.

Based on the new report from the Mirror it appears that Joshua Kimmich is looming as the player to come in and support Rodri. It is without a doubt the biggest priority for Manchester City this summer to find quality support for City’s midfield general. If Kimmich is the player City decides they want to support Rodri they would add a proven player to their squad.

Kimmich has had an impressive career with Bayern Munich and Germany. He has established himself as one of the best holding midfielders in world football during his time at Bayern Munich. Kimmich can also deputise at right-back which means his versatility would be another weapon for Pep Guardiola. Given that Kimmich rose to prominence under Guardiola at Bayern Munich he would also be familiar with the demands of the Manchester City manager. The reported fee of £30 million to sign Kimmich almost makes it a deal too good to pass up for the world champions.

Manchester City’s path to sign Joshua Kimmich appears to have cleared. Based on the Mirror’s new report it seems that the German international wants a move to the world champions. Now it appears to be a matter of whether or not City decide to move for Kimmich. Based on Kimmich’s pedigree it appears to be a no brainer for the world champions.
