Kimmich transfer: Liverpool target offered captaincy

Kimmich transfer: Liverpool target offered captaincy

Bayern Munich director Max Eberl has suggested that midfield star Joshua Kimmich could be club captain one day if he signs a new contract to stay at the club amid transfer interest from Liverpool.

Kimmich has long been a key player for Bayern, but he’s now into the final year of his contract at the Allianz Arena, and that will mean top teams all around Europe are surely keeping a close eye on his situation.

??? Bayern director Eberl: “We need Joshua Kimmich to be a face of the project”.

“His performances, willingness, heart… he is predestined for that. He should be the captain of Bayern Munich of the future”.

“But first we have to extend the contract!”, told @BR24. pic.twitter.com/SMdFwCh2ph
