#Newcastle étudie la possibilité de recruter #Kimmich du Bayern. Les Magpies pourraient profiter de l’intérêt des allemands pour #Trippier dans la perspective d’un échange.
En off on m’indique que Kimmich ne veut pas de départ cet hiver et veut jouer la LDC la saison prochaine😨 pic.twitter.com/sWKXFvbrQz— Seb Ecrivain Foot (@SebEcrivainFoot) January 21, 2024
Aged 27, the Bayern Munich midfielder is considered one of the best in his position. Versatile, technical and possessing a large volume of play, his qualities fit perfectly with the style of play advocated by Eddie Howe at Newcastle. Under contract until 2025 with the Bavarian club, Kimmich would also be tempted by a new challenge.
Already followed by PSG and Barcelona in the event of departure from Bayern, the German international (69 caps) would now be in the sights of the Magpies. The latter have already contacted the Munich management to inquire about its availability. Determined to be among the very best European clubs, Newcastle could offer Kimmich the sporting project likely to attract him.
