Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich continues to be linked with a summer transfer window move to Liverpool.
The Germany ace is currently shining for his nation at Euro 2024, with the hosts going strong at the major tournament.
Kimmich is fully focused on events in Germany, with the 29-year-old only going to decide his club future once the tournament has ended.
That means new Liverpool manager Arne Slot could be forced to continue waiting for his first arrival at Anfield.
Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is in the same position, with the Liverpool-linked attacker wanting to sort out his future following Euro 2024.

Slot could take over the mantle from the German in that regard, with the rivalry set to get going in the transfer window.
Signing a player with Kimmich’s ability and experience would be massive for Slot, not only in helping him succeed but helping him win over fans immediately.
The Germany star can play at both right-back and in midfield, with that versatility a huge asset in the modern game.
And with his Bayern Munich contract expiring next summer, now is the perfect time to make a move for the talented player.
