From Discarded to Priority, Madrid Makes a Move After Kimmich and Bayern's K.o.

Real Madrid continues working to improve the squad for the 2025-2026 season.

The current season isn't over yet, but all the big clubs continue working on the planning for 2025-2026.

The world of soccer is very changeable, so the latest information about Joshua Kimmich isn't surprising.

The German midfielder has reportedly broken off negotiations with Bayern Munich, according to "Bild".

This has surprised the soccer world, as Max Eberl announced a few days ago that they intended to renew his contract.

"We have taken a clear position, and now we need to see if we can consolidate this in the contract. I can't force anyone. All I can say is that we would like him to stay. We would love for Kimmich to become one of Bayern's key faces in the future. But the decision is up to him," expressed the executive of the Bavarian giant.

Following these words, Bayern Munich decided to withdraw the renewal offer to Joshua Kimmich, so it is understood that he will leave the team at the end of the season and start a new adventure.

Future at Real Madrid?

This has sparked rumors about a possible future with the Madrid club.

Carlo Ancelotti already made it clear that "there isn't a player with Kroos's characteristics in the market, but we have to replace him in another way. We have midfielders with a lot of quality, and we have to adapt next season's play to their characteristics."

However, Real Madrid's sports officials have their eyes on Martín Zubimendi and Joshua Kimmich.

The advantage with the German is that he can play in several positions and would arrive for free, something that could be decisive in this operation.

For now, Real Madrid doesn't plan to make any moves public, as they don't want their squad to lose focus, especially since they are competing for their chances in LaLiga, the UEFA Champions League, and the Copa del Rey, and they must also decide the future of Luka Modric and Dani Ceballos.

What is clear is that the possibility of incorporating Joshua Kimmich is very attractive for the Madrid club for 2025-2026.
