Joshua Kimmich's potential transfer destinations - ranked
It's very, very rare that one of the best midfielders in world football is available on the transfer market, but that might be the case this summer with Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich.
The 29-year-old has won it all during a glittering nine-year stay in Bavaria, but it's understood the German is considering a new challenge in the summer — something that Bayern may be willing to faciliate as he heads into the final year of his contract.

Still, that's never stopped the 14-time Champions League winners from entering the market before.
