Joshua Kimmich, current star of Bayern Munich, could become one of the most talked-about signings for Real Madrid. According to the newspaper BILD, the 29-year-old German midfielder has already had initial contacts with the club.
His contract with Bayern ends in June 2025, but negotiations for his renewal are stalled. This leaves the door open for Real Madrid to act and take advantage of the situation.
Kimmich is not just a world-class midfielder; he is a player who excels in all aspects of the game. His ability to organize, recover, and create play is reminiscent of legends like Sergio Busquets. Therefore, his arrival excites fans and Toni Kroos, who is aware of his impact.
A Strategic Signing, Like Alaba and Rüdiger
Real Madrid has proven in recent years to be a master in signings at zero or reduced cost. The cases of David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger are recent examples. Both waited until their contracts with their respective teams ended, allowing Madrid to incorporate them without paying massive transfer fees.
The strategy could be repeated with Kimmich, who would be in a position to negotiate freely starting January 1, 2025, according to FIFA regulations. This detail gives Real Madrid the opportunity to prepare an attractive offer and, in the process, avoid competing in an auction with other clubs.
A Need in the Midfield
Since Toni Kroos's retirement, Real Madrid has been searching for a midfielder who combines experience, talent, and leadership. Although Luka Modric and Dani Ceballos have taken on the organizing role, neither offers the balance that Kimmich can provide. The German shines for his precision, tactical vision, and versatility, qualities worthy of Busquets's style.
Kimmich, with experience in major competitions, is ready for a leading role. His arrival would bring that dominant profile that Ancelotti seeks for his engine room.
A Shared Dream?
Kimmich has already expressed in the past his admiration for historic teams like Real Madrid. If the player decides not to renew with Bayern, he could see the club as a unique opportunity to take a leap in his career. Meanwhile, Madrid knows that his signing would be a masterstroke in the market, securing a player who could define an era at Santiago Bernabéu.
Toni Kroos, who played with Kimmich in the German national team, hasn't hidden his appreciation for the midfielder. According to sources close to the club, the former Madrid player has given his approval to the operation. A gesture that suggests Kimmich has everything to succeed at Madrid and follow in the footsteps of great midfield legends.
