In a surprising twist during the ongoing winter transfer window, PSG are keen on bringing in the versatile German international. Sky, corroborating L'Equipe's initial report, have confirmed the French champions' interest in acquiring Kimmich before the winter transfer deadline.
Transfer expert Florian Plettenberg from Sky revealed, "He's not just on their wish list. Intermediaries have already been engaged to facilitate discussions between PSG, Kimmich's representatives, and Bayern, gathering initial insights."
PSG's head coach, Luis Enrique, is reportedly advocating for a swift transfer. According to L'Equipe, there's speculation about a potential exchange involving Kimmich and Bayern's Nordi Mukiele, a scenario Plettenberg deems "absolutely ruled out." While a winter departure for the midfield maestro towards France is considered by PSG as a "very concrete option," Plettenberg insists that a move in the current transfer window is unlikely.
Despite the ongoing rumours, Plettenberg dismisses the possibility of Kimmich leaving Bayern for PSG this winter, asserting that it is "not a topic of discussion." However, he does not rule out the prospect of the 28-year-old departing the Bavarian club in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Football enthusiasts are now eagerly awaiting further developments in this potential blockbuster transfer, as PSG aim to bolster their squad with one of Bayern's key players. The intricate negotiations involve intermediaries working to bridge the gap between the parties involved, with PSG expressing a keen interest in securing Kimmich's signature.
As the winter transfer window progresses, the football world is abuzz with anticipation, eager to witness whether this audacious move by PSG to land Joshua Kimmich will materialize or if Bayern can retain their influential midfielder beyond the current season.
