What I see from Kimmich is that he now has the most ideal option to join Madrid. No matter his free transfer status, but Kimmich has a better future. That's why he is reluctant to extend his contract. In Madrid he can have a bright future and a decent place as a player as long as he can show his quality. At least in Madrid he can be closer to trophies especially the Champions League.
If Kimmich goes to Madrid, it means that the rumors about Trent will be finished because indeed the most inclined position for Kimmich is currently a right-back so that when he joins Madrid, speculation about Trent for next season may not be well realized by Madrid.
But it cannot be denied that Kimmich is also still quite good but when it is said that now he is approaching Madrid does it also mean that Arsenal are starting to give up on bringing this player because if I am not mistaken there have been rumors before that Kimmich will go to Arsenal.
The situation is always confusing when rumors sometimes always arrive but in the end for now the winter transfer is finally almost over and no surprises have occurred until now even though if we look at the deadline now the transfer will actually end in approximately one week.
