His intermediaries have also contacted Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Real Madrid to discuss their interest in Kimmich’s possible transfer from Bayer Munich.

One route Manchester City are exploring to sign Arsenal transfer target Kimmich is to give Bayern Munich the chance to buy Joao Cancelo. The full-back moved to Bavaria on loan with an option to buy worth £61.5m in January. But the Citizens are now open to a potential swap. But Bayern Munich has now decided that they don’t want to make the Cancelo deal permanent.
