The midfielder is currently being monitored by both Barcelona and City ahead of the summer transfer window, with both clubs eager to secure his services moving forward.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Pep Guardiola was in charge of Bayern when the club purchased Kimmich from RB Leipzig and is now eager to reunite with the versatile midfielder at the Etihad Stadium. The German international is entering the final year of his current deal at Bayern, meaning the Bundesliga giants could look to cash in on the player this summer.

And when I do that, I won't go out and talk to the press about it."He also commented on links to Barcelona, adding: "At the moment I'm not thinking about this.

WHAT KIMMICH SAID

Despite his future at club level currently being uncertain, Kimmich must shift focus to Euro 2024 with Germany as he and his team-mates look to secure the international honour in front of their home crowd.
