Kimmich Speaks out about His Future Following Rumors of His Transfer with Real Madrid

The German player reacts to the latest news about his competitive future

One of the names that would have been incorporated into Real Madrid's orbit for the summer 2025 market is Joshua Kimmich. The German '6' possible addition comes right after the notable fiasco in the 'Davies case', where the Canadian winger would have preferred a higher salary over wearing the white jersey. With the North American defender ruled out, the white executives haven't finished analyzing the free agent market for next summer.

Joshua Kimmich himself is one of the most prominent names in this regard. The intensity of the rumors linking the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez with the defensive midfielder from Bayern Munich has grown so much that it has even reached the player. He hasn't hesitated to definitely confront them.

After a game with Bayern Munich, Joshua Kimmich made it clear that "I can't get up every three days and give you an update". The Bavarian '6' seems to show his dissatisfaction with this radical change in the direction of his future. Because "there will be an update at some point, but I'm not going to comment on it every three days", the organizing pivot points out.

This appreciation by Joshua about his future in European soccer's elite doesn't clearly solve his next step as a player. Despite the existence of a transfer option for Real Madrid, most of the information published in Germany points to his renewal with Bayern Munich.

An option to consider

The 'rescue' of the possible signing of Joshua as a free agent is due, especially, to the process that's still ongoing in the Valdebebas offices since Kroos' retirement. The departure of the former German '8' has left a significant gap in the roster of midfielders... which the sports management hopes to fill during the next summer window with a signing of the same nature.

So far, the best creative defensive midfielder on the list of potential signings is none other than Martín Zubimendi. The pivot from Real Sociedad seems ready to leave behind the Reale Arena. A circumstance that has caught the attention of other teams in European soccer's elite.

Especially in the Premier League, where Arsenal and Liverpool are competing fiercely for his signing. The advances of the gunner entity would have been more fruitful, as there is already talk of an agreement between the London club and Zubimendi. Real Madrid, which remains alert in this saga, awaits the right moment to make a move.

But it also remains alert to other options to replace Toni Kroos with a player of his same characteristics. The failure in signing Martín Zubimendi could mean the search for the acquisition of Joshua Kimmich. Especially because he is a fully established player in the competitive elite who would arrive as a free agent to Santiago Bernabéu locker room.
