Manchester City could be lining up a surprise transfer for Joshua Kimmich this summer.

The 28-year-old is willing to leave Bayern Munich after many years of trophies and success at the German giants.

Per Daily Star, Pep Guardiola is a huge admirer of Kimmich from his time coaching Bayern.

Guardiola sees Kimmich as someone who can play in midfield and at right-back.

He would emulate the role that Trent Alexander-Arnold has been playing for Liverpool.

Whether Bayern are willing to sell Kimmich is unclear, given he is still a valuable member of the team.
