Man City Set to Make Surprise Move for €20M-Per-Year Real Madrid, PSG Transfer Target

Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly monitored Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich closely over the past few months. However, a transfer for the player nearly materialized last summer.

In addition to Kimmich, Barcelona are said to be tracking Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah as they aim to bolster their midfield and defense ahead of the 2025 season.

Journalists Christian Falk and Tobi Altschäffl recently reported that Bayern Munich have given up on persuading Kimmich to take a pay cut from his current €20 million annual salary.

With his contract set to expire next year and interest from major clubs growing, it appears unlikely that Kimmich will agree to reduced terms.
