Liverpool ‘are considering move to sign Bayern Munich star who will be a free agent in the summer’ – as the Premier League leaders look to strengthen Arne Slot’s squad

Liverpool are reportedly eyeing-up a move for a Bayern Munich star as they look to strengthen their squad. 

The Reds, who currently sit top of the Premier League table, have been relatively quiet in the transfer market in recent windows.

Back in the summer the club’s only addition was Juventus forward Federico Chiesa after they failed in a pursuit of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi.

It hasn’t impacted Arne Slot’s side so far this season, with the Reds six points clear of Arsenal in the league, while they are also leading the Champions League League Stage.

Ryan Gravenberch has been transformed into the deepest-lying midfielder in the Dutchman’s system, with the 22-year-old subsequently shining as one of Liverpool’s stars of the campaign. 

However, according to Bild journalist Christian Falk, the Reds are considering strengthening their options in midfield with the addition of Bayern star Joshua Kimmich.

Arne Slot’s side are currently top of the Premier League after a stunning start to the season

Kimmich has made over 400 appearances for Bayern since joining from RB Leipzig in 2015

Kimmich, 29, has been an integral member of the German giants’ side since joining the club from RB Leipzig in 2015, with the midfielder having made 414 appearances.

The midfielder, who can also fill in at right back, has similarly won 97 caps for Germany and was appointed as their captain in the aftermath of Euro 2024.

Kimmich is out of contract at the end of the season, meaning any move from Liverpool would likely be as a potential free transfer in the summer.

However, the report claims that Bayern are in talks with the 29-year-old over a new deal. 

Kimmich has previously been linked to Liverpool, most notably in the summer of 2023 when the Reds underwent a midfield overhaul following the departures of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.

The German would fit into Slot’s style of play if he was to make the move, with the Dutchman preferring to use a deep-lying playmaker in the No 6 role, rather than a traditional tough-tackling defensive midfielder.  

Kimmich has played every minute of Bayern’s campaign so far this season, with the midfielder featuring in all 24 games across competitions for Vincent Kompany’s side.

The German giants currently sit top of the Bundesliga, four points clear of reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen.

Kimmich, who has also won 97 caps for Germany, has been linked with Liverpool in the past

Liverpool are hoping to strengthen their option as they compete on all fronts in 2024-25

It comes after Leverkusen won the title last year, which ended Bayern’s run of triumphing in 11 successive seasons between 2012 and 2023.

Meanwhile, Liverpool return to action on Wednesday when they face Tottenham in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final.

The Reds then entertain Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup third round at Anfield on Saturday.
