Now, after such a busy January, attention at the Etihad Stadium can turn to the summer transfer window. According to TeamTalk, Manchester City now in pole position to sign Joshua Kimmich when his current Bayern Munich contract expires at the end of the season.
A player who debuted at Bayern Guardiola, Kimmich could reunite with the Spaniard in the summer and solve his right-back and midfield issues on the cheap.
The 29-year-old German is no longer the rising star that Guardiola was with Bayern. Today, Kimmich is a mature, elite and experienced player who can solve City’s problems.
Manchester City should reunite Guardiola and Kimmich
City’s two biggest issues this season have been their lack of depth in defensive midfield to replace the injured Rodri, and their lack of depth at right-back to end Kyle Walker’s disastrous run of form. Kimmich solves both problems immediately, with his versatility and technical ability as ready for Guardiola’s City as they were for his Bayern side so many months ago.
Spaniards were full of praise for the young Kimmich almost a decade ago, and his predictions for a bright future for the German have now largely come true. He told reporters that it was conveyed beIN Sports 2016: “I love this kid. He has absolutely everything and can achieve anything he wants. He wants to learn and is passionate about it.
“When I talk about Joshua Kimmich, I only have good things to say. I have a message for journalists: don’t say he can’t play defensively.”
Of course, years later, it’s clear that the Bayern star can also play in defense and get quite the job done. When the summer comes and his contract expires, a reunion with Guardiola makes perfect sense for all parties.
