Bayern Munich Plot Raid of €40M-Rated Talent, Fueling Arsenal, PSG’s Transfer Plans | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain have been monitoring Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich for months, nearly securing a deal last summer. Now, they’re making another push to sign him.

Journalist Christian Falk recently reported that PSG are still strongly interested in Kimmich, whose contract situation at Bayern Munich remains unresolved.

The French champions pursued him last summer, but Kimmich turned down the move. This time, PSG have reignited their interest, although Inter Milan and Liverpool are also in the mix. Meanwhile, Bayern and Kimmich are still in contact, and a contract extension is still on the table.

Does Bayern Munich already have a Joshua Kimmich replacement?

Fichajes reports that Bayern Munich are moving quickly and have already turned their attention to an old familiar face: Angelo Stiller. The Stuttgart midfielder, who came up through Bayern’s youth ranks, fits the profile the team is looking for to replace Kimmich.

Stuttgart signed him for just €5 million in 2023, but now they’re determined not to let him go for less than €40 million.

Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg reported Friday that Arsenal have shown strong interest in Kimmich for several days and have already held talks with him.

The Gunners are reportedly eyeing Kimmich as a potential free transfer option to replace Jorginho. The Bayern Munich midfielder has received two written offers from clubs outside Germany, including one from the Premier League.

This is reportedly the main reason Kimmich is hesitant to sign a new deal with Bayern, which would extend his contract until at least 2028 with a salary of €20 to €22 million gross per year.
