Joshua Kimmich is emerging as one of the hottest names on the transfer market this summer after Bayern Munich failed to secure a contract extension with their midfield leader.

The Bavarians reportedly capped their offer at €22 million per year, but despite his public declarations of loyalty, Kimmich has opted to reject the deal.

This immediately sparked interest from Arsenal, with reports suggesting that the North London club is prepared to meet his wage demands in an effort to secure his signature.

However, the Gunners face stiff competition. Barcelona is eager to reunite Kimmich with Hansi Flick, while Liverpool, bracing for the potential departures of key midfielders, is also keen to bring the German star to Anfield.
