Joshua Kimmich is keen to reunite with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, despite Guardiola’s uncertain future beyond next summer. Kimmich, a key figure in Germany’s Euro campaign, has one year left on his Bayern Munich contract and is attracting interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Liverpool.

However, the opportunity to work again with Guardiola, who gave him his big break at Bayern in 2015, is swaying him towards the Etihad. Kimmich’s representatives are eager to know Guardiola’s long-term plans, but Kimmich is determined to play under him again, even willing to take a risk. Bayern, led by Vincent Kompany, would prefer to sell Kimmich now for around £40 million rather than lose him on a free transfer next year. Kimmich, 29, wants to play more in midfield rather than right-back, a position dominated by Kyle Walker at City.

Guardiola’s track record of repositioning defensive players into midfield roles appeals to Kimmich. Real and Barca have contacted Bayern, but Kimmich favors the Premier League, seeking a £200,000-a-week deal. Meanwhile, City are also considering a bid for Red Bull Leipzig midfielder Dani Olmo, who has a £60 million release clause active until July 15.
