Real Madrid could be very busy this summer, with plans to make at least two big signings. One of these could be in midfield, and if so, Joshua Kimmich is someone who would be well placed to link up with Carlo Ancelotti.
In recent months, Kimmich has been regularly linked with Real Madrid, who have been considering the idea of signing a replacement for Toni Kroos, something they failed to do last summer – and which cost them a lot of money earlier this season. Moreover, the expected departure of Luka Modric also reinforces the idea that a player will be brought in.
Given that Kimmich would be available as a free agent at the end of the season, he is moving closer to Real Madrid, and in the last 24 hours reports from Germany have stated that talks have taken place between the two parties. However, this information has now been denied by sources within Valdebebas, according to Marca.
According to the report, Real Madrid do not have Kimmich in their future plans. The 30-year-old midfielder, who could also be an option at right-back if Trent Alexander-Arnold were to remain at Liverpool, only went as far as to say he was involved in an “unrequited offer” involving the reigning club. La Liga and European champions.
This would mean that Alphonso Davies is the only Bayern player Real Madrid are interested in. Like Kimmich, he is also out of contract at the end of the season, although at this stage it appears he will eventually sign a new contract. in Bavaria.
It will be very interesting to see what transfer plans Real Madrid have this summer. They really want Alexander-Arnold and Davies, but it wouldn't be a surprise if cover is sought for a midfielder ahead of Modric's likely departure. If that does happen, it appears Kimmich will not be considered.
