According to a recent report, an Arsenal target is set to discuss his future with his current club after Euro 2024.
Mikel Arteta will be identifying a number of targets at Euro 2024 along with sporting director Edu as he looks to assemble a squad capable of pipping Manchester City to the Premier League title.
One player who is currently away in Germany has been linked with a move to North London in recent weeks and now it has just emerged that he’s set to discuss his future with his current club after the competition.
Joshua Kimmich set to discuss future with Bayern Munich after being linked to Arsenal
According to Sky Germany, Joshua Kimmich is expected to discuss his future with Bayern Munich after Euro 2024.
The 29-year-old is currently away with Germany at the tournament and has started each of their first two games, winning both.
The report further claims that it’s unlikely he’ll extend his contract at the Bundesliga giants, meaning he’ll have just a year left on his deal.
That would give Arsenal, who have been credited with an interest, a major boost in their pursuit to land the ‘world class’ defender.
The cost of Joshua Kimmich
Bayern won’t want to risk losing Kimmich on a free transfer next summer, so they’ll likely look to move him on this window for a somewhat discounted fee.
A £51m price tag has been touted in recent weeks, which seems a little steep given his current contract situation.
Though, admittedly for a player of his quality, any club that land him for a figure close to that would be getting their money’s worth.
Arsenal will be hoping they can land his signature ahead of rival suitors.
