Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich, whose future with the German giants appears increasingly in doubt.

The 29-year-old is under contract until the end of the next season but, according to Sky Germany, negotiations over a new deal have stalled.

The impasse over his contract renewal has left Kimmich ‘considering his options’ ahead of the summer, while Bayern could be forced to cash or risk losing the midfielder for free in 12 months.

As per the report in Germany, Arsenal are among the clubs interested in the German international, along with Manchester City, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Significantly, however, Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are currently understood not to be among the clubs interested in Kimmich.

Bayern looked to include the midfielder in a deal for Kieran Trippier in the January transfer window, only for Newcastle to turn down three separate bids for the England right-back. 

A veteran of 82 caps for Germany, Kimmich has won 20 major trophies since joining Bayern from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2015, including the last eight Bundesliga titles.

The Bavarian giants, however, are unlikely to extend their domestic domination as they trail Bayer Leverkusen by 10 points with eight games left to play.

And the midfielder was reportedly held back from a tunnel spat with Thomas Tuchel‘s assistant after Bayern lost 3-2 to Bochum last month – their third defeat in eight days.

According to Bild,  Kimmich – who had been substituted just after the hour mark – got into an argument with Tuchel’s assistant coach Zsolt Low on their way back to the dressing room.

The fiery exchange appeared to be over, but Low then shouted something at Kimmich as he went up the stairs in the tunnel, sparking another confrontation.

At this point, Bayern captain Manuel Neuer and several other team-mates stepped in to prevent things from escalating any further.

Following the incident, Tuchel refused to reveal the exact details of what had happened, but insisted that things had not got out of hand between the pair.

‘I know what was going on. This is not for the public,’ he told reporters.

‘We are in a football locker room. This is a pretty normal occurrence if kept within limits. And it stayed within limits.’

While Tuchel has taken Bayern to the quarter-finals of the Champions League where they will face Arsenal, the club has already announced he will leave at the end of the season.

And according to Bild, a return to the Premier League remains top of the 50-year-old’s wishlist with the ‘dream destination’ for him.

Erik ten Hag‘s position at Old Trafford remains under scrutiny following a dismal season and winning the FA Cup may not be enough for the Dutchman to save his job. 

Tuchel won the Champions League and the FA Cup with the Blues in just over two seasons at Stamford Bridge, before being sacked in September 2022.
