Arrivals

A separation between Bayern Munich and Joshua Kimmich now or next summer is becoming ‘increasingly likely’, and a scenario both are open to. The 29-year-old is ready to go into the final year of contract and leave for free in 2025. As such, Bayern are willing to sell this summer for suitable offers. Concrete talks will take place after the Euros. (Florian Plettenberg)
