Pep Guardiola makes waves in the transfer market

Kimmich is considered one of the best midfielders in the world, after being introduced by Pep Guardiola to Bayern Munich in 2015.

The German international is having a disappointing season at the Allianz Arena as the Bavarians were eliminated from the Champions League, the German Cup and lost their right to decide the Bundesliga title.

With Gundogan getting old and likely to leave when his contract expires this summer, Pep Guardiola wants Kimmich to replace his compatriot at Etihad.

Joshua Kimmich himself is also ready to find a new challenge in his career, after many years of dedication to Bayern.

He is a versatile player, able to play well as a central midfielder or right-back.

Previously, Bayern announced that they would not buy Joao Cancelo outright for 60 million pounds. However, the Portuguese defender could be used as a swap in the Kimmich deal.

Joshua Kimmich's current contract with the Bavarians runs until June 2025. Bayern's leadership has tried to invite him to sign an extension but has not been successful.

Pep Guardiola has worked with Kimmich for a while and understands his former player's ability. He is confident that he will improve the 28-year-old midfielder if he agrees to join the Etihad team.

However, the price Man City has to pay will not be cheap, around 80 million pounds.
