PSG bring in "intermediaries" for talks with ‘world-class’ ace after claims Liverpool are bidding

Paris Saint-German are working on an audacious move to sign Joshua Kimmich after claims the 28-year-old will leave Bayern Munich in the summer due to his contract situation.

The German international moved to the Allianz Arena from RB Leipzig in 2015 and after nine years, he could finally leave.

According to Sky in Germany, PSG are "working on a transfer for Bayern star Joshua Kimmich."

Journalist Florian Plettenberg reports that "intermediaries have already been brought in" to facilitate talks between PSG and Kimmich as his next move begins to take shape.

Bayern have also been contacted to "obtain initial information."

Liverpool have been linked with Kimmich as their search for a new defensive midfielder continues. Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia were considerations in the summer while the pursuit of Fluminense's Andre turned cold more recently.

Several players have been suggested as Fabinho's replacement in the no.6 role but none are more appealing than Kimmich.

He may not be as physically imposing as someone like Rodri but his technical attributes and understanding of the role make him one of the most impressive play-breakers in Europe.

Reportedly, he wants Manchester City over other interested sides but it would be foolish to not attempt swaying him to join Liverpool given the need for a defensive midfielder and his obvious suitability to Jurgen Klopp's tactics.
