Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich remains on the market following his latest round of talks with the Bavarian giants and will be available as a free agent in the summer. For a time he was linked to Barcelona, but now it seems more likely that he will end up in the Spanish capital.
Kimmich, 29, will give Bayern priority over a new deal, but so far they have not offered him the project to convince him to stay. Meanwhile, BILD (via Sport) say Bayern are tired of him playing hard to get a deal done. It opens the door to a move abroad for Kimmich, with what could be his last big contract.

Barcelona has no intention of signing Kimmich, due to the evolution of Marc Casado and the promise of Marc Bernal, but also due to their salary demands. Despite long-standing interest and the presence of Hansi Flick, a move to Catalonia seems out of the question.
Real Madrid appears as one of the teams for which Kimmich could sign, along with Manchester City, Manchester United or Paris Saint-Germain. The German international could help alleviate the loss of Toni Kroos, and being one of the top clubs that could pay his salary is an option for the player.
He would fit into Los Blancos’ transfer strategy of only recruiting veterans who are available on a free transfer. Kimmich would also provide a much more controlling presence in midfield for Real Madrid, although he is not necessarily a number six in the style of Martín Zubimendi or Rodri Hernández, who they have also been linked with.
