In recent hours, a rumor has gained traction placing Joshua Kimmich at Real Madrid. His contract ends on June 30, and he is free to negotiate with any team. So far, he has no agreement to renew with Bayern, and a destination he would like is Bernabéu. However, journalist José Félix Díaz has completely ruled out this option in Marca.
José Félix Díaz has been adamant in his latest report, completely dismissing the possibility of Joshua Kimmich playing at Real Madrid. "The white club denies any contact or interest in signing the versatile German footballer," he pointed out in his most recent article published in Marca.
In this regard, José Félix Díaz also noted: "This is not the first time he has been linked with the white club. Last summer, he was mentioned as a possible replacement for Kroos, and now the focus was on the problems the white club has at right-back."
Concluding his report, José Félix Díaz closed with: "There has been nothing beyond an unreciprocated offer, as Joshua Kimmich is not in Madrid's plans."
Neither Joshua Kimmich nor Davies: There Will be No Signing from Bayern
Beyond Joshua Kimmich, Davies was, along with Trent Alexander-Arnold, the main target for Real Madrid for the upcoming summer market. Both were arriving for free, with a free transfer in hand. In the white club, they fear that in Liverpool, the Munich story could repeat itself.
Of the two full-backs, Davies was more of a priority, whose role is currently filled by Ferland Mendy and Fran García. Alexander-Arnold, who seems likely to end up signing for Real Madrid, will have to compete with Carvajal for the starting position. A significant challenge.
Now Real Madrid will activate Plan B, which involves the return to Bernabéu of Theo Hernández, the Spanish-French defender who was trained in Atlético de Madrid's ranks.
Theo Hernández's career advanced in Milan's ranks. Real Madrid paid Atlético 26 million euros for him in the 2017-18 season. Things didn't go well for him, and he was loaned to Real Sociedad the following season. He was then sold to Milan in the 2019-20 season.
He is a good friend of Mbappé and fits in at Real Madrid. With Davies ruled out, as well as Joshua Kimmich, this possibility is not dismissed.
