The upcoming summer transfer market will feature several stars finishing their contracts with their respective clubs. One of the most notable is undoubtedly Joshua Kimmich with Bayern Munich. Faced with the possibility of transfering the German completely free, Real Madrid has shown interest in acquiring his services.

Nevertheless, the Bavarian team has decided to respond to the interest from the Meringue team. "His decision, I am sure, will ultimately be to stay at FC Bayern," were the words of Christoph Freund. Through this, Bayern's director has tried to close the door on a possible departure by Kimmich.

However, in the absence of a contract renewal, the German's situation remains a complete mystery. Real Madrid, in search of strengthening its midfield, could go all out for a player who would fit perfectly into the team.

Kimmich's future

At 29 years old, Kimmich has been established as a great midfielder for several seasons. The 10 campaigns he has played with Bayern have demonstrated his great ability to maintain control of this position. Additionally, his ability to perform as both a midfielder and a right winger has made him a very complete player.

With the aim of once again dominating matches from the midfield, Real Madrid has seen Kimmich as a quality reinforcement. His contract, which ends this very summer, has presented itself as an opportunity not to be missed.

Even so, Freund's words have made it clear that a departure by Kimmich will not be easy. Maintaining his importance within the Bavarian team, Bayern could begin working on a renewal to close the door on this exit.

An operation that has just begun

Alongside Alexander-Arnold and Davies, Kimmich could be the next star to arrive at Real Madrid for free. After a decade in Bavaria, the player might be tempted to try new challenges in his distinguished career. While Real Madrid's interest remains, his possible arrival at Valdebebas also depends on the decision he ultimately makes.
