Barcelona and Real Madrid monitoring Bayern Munich midfielder

Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich has been a fixture for the Bavarian giants until last season, and while he has returned to a key role under Vincent Kompany, his future remains less certain. Real Madrid and Barcelona are keeping a close eye on his situation.

Kimmich is another player that is out of contract next summer, and while contract talks are ongoing between himself and Bayern, but there is still frustration from the veteran Germany international of the lack of appreciation he feels. Equally, he is not keen to take a salary cut to the €20m gross he earns per year, while Bayern Sporting Director Max Eberl wants to bring down the wage bill.
