Paris Saint-Germain are looking to strengthen its midfield this summer, with a familiar name making waves in the rumor mill. Over recent months, there have been links between PSG and Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich.
After a period of silence, the German player is once again considering a move to Paris. According to a recent report from CaughtOffside, both Liverpool and Manchester City are interested in signing the experienced player.
The latest information comes from BILD, which reports that Kimmich plans to discuss the situation with Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany in detail soon after his vacation.
Despite stiff competition, his desire to return to midfield is evident, especially with Palhinha’s recent signing. Given his crucial role in build-up play over recent seasons, Kimmich hopes Kompany recognizes his midfield prowess.

Internally, the club anticipates Kimmich continuing at right-back if he remains. While Kimmich is settled in Munich, having recently constructed a new family home in Grünwald, signs currently point towards a potential departure. Bayern aims to avoid a free transfer next summer at all costs.
Should he leave, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea are all feasible destinations. The key now lies with Kompany to persuade Kimmich to stay, showing appreciation and ideally positioning him in midfield alongside a holding player like Palhinha.
