Arsenal and Liverpool have been closely watching Bayern Munich as one of their star players, Joshua Kimmich, has been in talks about his future. Both Premier League clubs are looking to strengthen their squads during the summer transfer window, especially to challenge Manchester City for the title.
While Arsenal has already added David Raya and Riccardo Calafiori to their team, Liverpool is yet to make any signings. The two clubs are now in a race to sign Kimmich, who is seeking a way out under Thomas Tuchel’s management at Bayern Munich. Despite the recent talks held by Bayern Munich director Max Eberl with Kimmich, the player is still open to exploring his options, even with Vincent Kompany taking charge.
Eberl has indicated that Kimmich is an important player for Bayern Munich and they are looking to secure his future with a potential contract extension. However, Arsenal and Liverpool are keeping a close eye on the situation in case a deal becomes possible. Arsenal, who were considering Kimmich as a midfield target, are now focusing on a deal for Mikel Merino. On the other hand, Liverpool’s priority is to strengthen their forward line, with Pedro Neto being one of their targets.
The transfer window is still open, and both clubs will continue to monitor the situation regarding Kimmich’s future. It remains to be seen whether a deal will be reached, but for now, Arsenal and Liverpool are actively looking to improve their squads for the upcoming season.
