Kimmich transfer: Will he leave or stay at Bayern?
Kimmich may feel that he would like to stay and wear his club’s armband, but at the same time he has been there for the rest of his career and it may be tempting to try a new challenge.
Liverpool are also a big name in European football, so it could give Kimmich a change of scenery, but he still has the chance to play in the Champions League and compete for major trophies.
Appropriately, Fabrizio Romano also recently told us that he could see Kimmich leaving Bayern, he said: “Let’s see what will happen because Bayern still have the opportunity to extend Kimmich’s contract. Nevertheless, the situation that may exist at the moment is for Kimmich to go and try new knowledge, it will also depend on the proposals because Kimmich will look at all the options he can choose after the Euros.”
