Inda Reveals the Reason for Real Madrid's Firm 'No' to Joshua Kimmich

The sports management has been very clear regarding the potential signing of the German midfielder

One of the players who has been closely linked with Real Madrid for some time now is Joshua Kimmich. It's not surprising, because there are plenty of reasons to believe that there might be some connection between the current Bayern Munich midfielder and the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez. Especially after what happened last summer.

The retirement of Toni Kroos has left the first team without a playmaker, without an organizing pivot who can arrange the rest of the talent in the Madridist locker room. Meanwhile, the Merengue bosses have leaned toward signings as free agents for some time now, a condition that Kimmich could assume in the summer of 2025.

That's why many have pointed out that he could be the ideal signing for Real Madrid's engine room. But the constant comings and goings of those rumors surrounding Joshua Kimmich's signing have always met with a surprisingly strong resistance from the white leadership. In the Valdebebas offices, they consider that they have nothing to do with the Bavarian '6'.

That point of view is not due to the impossibility of acquiring his contract. Quite the opposite, since Real Madrid rarely lets a market opportunity like the one Joshua Kimmich would represent pass by without at least trying. The reality is that the white club is tired, according to 'OKDiario', of being 'used' by the players' agents.

End Point

The renewal of Joshua Kimmich has become a delicate matter in the Sabener Strasse offices. The Munich board, according to BILD several weeks ago, had withdrawn its renewal offer to Kimmich amid rumors of a possible move to Real Madrid. Nothing could be further from the truth according to the digital newspaper directed by Eduardo Inda.

"The white club was very burned and disappointed by the maneuvers of Alphonso Davies's agent, another player who was negotiating his renewal with Bayern", they reveal in the publication. "The full-back even gave his word to Real Madrid that he would wear white in June", a future that will never happen due to his mega-renewal with Bayern Munich.

That recent maneuver delivers a very clear verdict: "Real Madrid is not willing to be used by Joshua Kimmich's agents to get a better renewal offer". Thus, the sports management of the white club understands that there are better targets to expand the roster of midfielders. "Kimmich is not in Real Madrid's immediate future plans", 'OKDiario' states.

That's why all attempts to place Joshua Kimmich in Santiago Bernabéu locker room, several sources point out, would be completely useless. The executives led by Florentino Pérez continue to search for the ideal signing for the midfield, but the name of Florian Wirtz is now occupying their attention... especially because the '10' werkself is also sought after by the Bavarian squad.
