Arsenal are intererested in signing Joshua Kimmich in the summer transfer window, according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.
Kimmich, who can play as a midfielder or right-back, is out of contract at Bayern at the end of the season, and Arsenal have been in talks with the Germany international.
Plettenberg wrote on X: “EXCL | For several days, Arsenal FC have been one of the clubs with a concrete interest in Joshua Kimmich and have held talks
“Gunners would like to sign him on a free transfer as a possible replacement for Jorginho. Kimmich now has received two written offers from abroad. One from the Premier League.
“That’s the main reason why he is hesitating to sign a new deal with Bayern at least until 2028 and a salary of €20-22m gross/year.
“Kimmich has informed Bayern about the offers. But from Kimmich’s camp, it is said that discussions with Eberl/Freund are still ongoing.
“For Kimmich an agreement on a new contract remains possible and Bayern are ready to negotiate again, but now only willing to pay the same amount or less.”
