Bayern Munich seems reluctant to let Joshua Kimmich go but unfortunately, it is not in line with what the player concerned wants because as far as I know, Joshua Kimmich is not interested in extending his contract, which means he could leave this January or at the end of the season as a free agent. Besides Real Madrid, Liverpool is also reportedly interested in Joshua Kimmich. It seems like Liverpool wants to anticipate if Trent Alexander Arnold really leaves Anfield.
If in the end the situation remains the same then it looks like Bayern will have to let him go quickly if they don't want to lose this player for free.
The end of the season is the end of Kimmich's contract and if they don't have an agreement for a contract extension then eventually selling is the solution. It's just that for now they are pressed for time because we know that the winter transfer window closes at the beginning of February so there are only a few days left for Bayern to make a choice.
But the rumors to Madrid are also a little hard to believe because it seems that Madrid still wants to wait for TAA's decision for next season especially for now even though Carvajal is injured and it is likely that he will recover by the end of the season but there are still several players like Vazquez, Valverde and even young player Asencio who can occupy the position for the right-back so I'm not sure Madrid will try to be aggressive for this rumor.
