“Cannot be ruled out” – Bayern Munich star linked with a stunning move to Liverpool, Klopp knows his strengths
Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich is attracting interest from a number of top clubs and an exit cannot be ruled out.
That is according to journalist Christian Falk who has claimed that Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel has questioned the player’s position as a number 6.
Falk claims that Barcelona are ‘very interested’ in signing the player while Pep Guardiola is a huge fan of him having been the one to discover and promote him to the Bayern Munich team.
He adds that Jurgen Klopp is also interested in him and knows his strengths that would suit his style of play at Liverpool.
Christian Falk wrote in the Daily Briefing Fact Files:
“It cannot be ruled out that FC Bayern and Kimmich part ways.”

“FC Barcelona is very interested in Kimmich. If he comes onto the market next summer, some clubs in the Premier League will also look at him. Pep Guardiola is considered a big fan of Kimmich after having initially discovered and promoted him in Munich. The City coach appreciates Kimmich’s versatility as he can play in many positions.
“But Jurgen Klopp also knows Kimmich’s strengths, which would suit Liverpool FC well. The poker for Kimmich could soon be open.”
