Arsenal and Liverpool have been set for a tuggling battle over Joshua Kimmich.
Bayern Munich -star Kimmich is without a contract in the summer and the Bundesliga giants have drawn the plug in New Deal conversations.
But Kimmich is now free to talk to foreign clubs, with various front parties and Barcelona like to pick up the German World Cup winner.
The Gunners want this summer with Jorginho, 33, and Thomas Peny, from contract this summer.
Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad has already been drawn up for a £ 51 million switch to North Londs.
But Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is an admirer of Kimmich, who can also play as a reverse full-back.
Fringe players – such as Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko – can be sold to raise money.
While Liverpool also wants to strengthen their midfield after they have not done this last summer.
Kimmich could also replace England full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold that is linked to a free move to Real Madrid.
Barca's ex-bayern boss Hansi Flick coached Kimmich, but the Spanish side still has financial problems.

Bayern Munich is currently leading the Bundesliga table and is eight points free from Bayer Leverkusen.
They are confronted with Stuttgart on Friday evening, although Kimmich will not appear due to a hamstring problem.
Prior to the match, Vincent Kompany said: “We only set our sights on Stuttgart.
“But he will probably not travel with us. The game is probably too early for him.”
