Liverpool to make summer move for Bayern Munich star

Liverpool are reportedly keen on Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich as Jurgen Klopp looks to improve his midfield options for next season.

Liverpool's need for midfield reinforcements is no secret and after confirming the summer departures of James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita, there is an obvious hole in the middle of the park for Jurgen Klopp.

Kimiich the chosen one for Liverpool?

According to Spanish publication Marca, Kimmich will be available this summer for around £60m and several top teams including Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United are keeping tabs.

The 28-year-old has been a star for club and country in recent seasons and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for Klopp. 

There is still a long way to go as far as making any deal happen as Bayern will certainly be reluctant to sell one of their best players, especially not to a potential Champions League rival.

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool come forward with a concrete proposal for the Bayern Munich midfielder in the coming months.
