No, the agreement will be greater than that if you look at the value of Kimmich now he is still at a price of 60 million and the contract he has is still one season left so it would be very difficult if it forced the price to be that low especially since we know Bayern is a good businessman because after all we must be aware that players who are more than 33 years old can be sold to Barcelona for 45 million especially for players like Kimmich who are still quite useful at a mature age and he is a flexible player and can be played anywhere so it is certain that Bauern will not give it at a cheap price.

The current situation of Kimmich is still experiencing internal problems with Bayern and Tuchel but until now Bayern also still do not want to release this player as long as the clause is not fulfilled and it looks like Bayern are still trying to get Kimmich to extend his contract at Bayern before finally really trying to sell him if the contract extension agreement is not implemented.

Victor Osimhen is not in the good form like we saw from him in the last season and he can't have the perfect performance we saw from him before. In fact, Victor Osimhen during the last season was good enough to make some teams like Real Madrid to think about this player and he could make much better decisions than extending this contract with Napoli. Now he is not in the good form anymore and he doesn't have a good relationship with his team because of the dramas they had during this season.
Now Chelsea is not in a good situation but they they already spent too much money that's why I don't know if that's a wise move to think about Osimhen or not.

There is a combination of a couple of things when everything goes South like that. Bayern usually had professionals in leadership positions that had an amazing career and understood how to manage a club. But they now decided to have some former business CEOs take full control of the club and I thought that couldn't work out and it didn't. There is a lack of expertise. Before that they had this guy called Salihamidciz and I doubt that anyone respected him. It was him and former CEO Kahn who sacked Nagelsmann to then sign Tuchel. It all went wrong and now they are paying the bill.

But the good days are far from coming to an end. This is one season and I think everyone has a feeling of what can now be expected next from Bayern. They will take some serious cash, sign players and a star trainer and then aim at playing a perfect season 2024/2025.

Barcelona has a more difficult task than recruiting Joshua Kimmich in the next transfer window, Barcelona management must try to make Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix status permanent from their parent club first. The financial crisis they are facing means their actions are limited, although management wants to add depth to the squad to convince Xavi to stay. But if Barcelona is willing to release some of its young players, it could be that their efforts to increase squad depth can be realized, especially if Barcelona is able to win the Champions League trophy this season.

However, it looks like Joshua Kimmich is not going anywhere, he will stay with Bayern Munich on nex season, and because they will part ways with Thomas Tuchel. Besides that, Xavi will also part ways with Barcelona, so the recruitment of Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich seems to be just a rumor. Joshua Kimmich is still under contract for one more season with Bayern Munich, it is likely that management will renew his contract for another season or two.

The glorious days of Bayern Munich is gradually coming to an end and we gets to see the new era kicks off. Thomas Tuchel should be held responsible for ongoing poor performance hitting harder on the team, they're having no serious improvement and continue to struggle before they win matches. Bayern Munich having one of the worst season and this is really decisive if they can actually bounce to good form or remain in the dark. Joshua Kimmich have contributed to the progress of the club and this have been the desirable player for the club but he's not getting any younger and most of his incredible qualities is gradually fading away.

If not for the fact that they groomed Bellingham and provide good support for him, Rodrigo will remain the highest goal scorer for the club this season. But as Benzema said in one of his interview when asked why he has not been scoring goals since he came to Saudi, and he said in Real Madrid, all the players provide good support and assist you and here Saudi isn't real Madrid. That's why Bellingham was able to proper this season than Rodrigo but I am impressed with his performance this season.


Real Madrid is guided by very smart people and I don't understand the speculations about Rodrigo loyalty to Real Madrid and his posible future with another club, that boy isn't going anywhere because he is still young and he has much more future with Real Madrid, he is currently earning even more than Vinicious considering his duration in the club and his age, not sure if that boy need anything with the like of Premier League or Bundesliga Because everything needed to be achieved can be done by Real Madrid.

Even though Joshua Kimmich is one of the players that Xavi Hernandez likes, that doesn't mean he will easily bring him to Camp Nou because Barcelona's unstable financial condition makes everything more difficult. Not to mention if next season Xavi Hernandez will leave Barcelona so these plans could be even more disrupted, because Xavi Hernandez will leave next season even though he has recently started considering staying at Barcelona.

Joshua Kimmich began to feel uncomfortable with Thomas Tuchel's coaching style and that became a reason for him to leave. But there is no certainty where next season he will play and even if he does go, maybe Barcelona will not be the place. Unless Bayern Munich provides a release clause at a much cheaper price so Barcelona can consider it.

Rodrygo has reach his top performance this season because so far he can able to scores 15 goals in all competitions and possibly he will scores more goals from Real Madrid upcoming matches because Ancelotti is fully trust to him to play regularly for each matches and this rumour was appears because if Mbappe arrived to Real Madrid this summer then Real Madrid has several players who have position as a winger including Mbappe or Rodrygo and assuming Ancelotti more likely to playing Mbappe in the team then there is possibility Rodrygo status is only as substitute player for Mbappe and i am sure Rodrygo would not want to be placed in that position

Actually Rodrygo hasn't thinking about this possibility because he still focus to help Real Madrid to gets Laliga and Champion League trophy and if this is true and Rodrygo has decide to moved from Real Madrid then it's not difficult for him to look for new clubs because recently he is into Manchester United and Arsenal radar even if Rodrygo is willing to moved from Real Madrid then reported Manchester United also looks very serious want to bought him and this team are willing to pay with expensive transfer approximately 120 millions for Rodrygo

Regardless of the loopholes Osimhen faced for a few weeks with Napoli, he still found so much belief in them and he's  or less the fan's favorite too. So the news of his contract extension was definitely soothing to the team and some fans too. Now it's certain that they'd keep seeing and benefiting from his unique style of football. He's being a key man at the Italian side and it was although very much unlikely for them to let him slip off their arm. He's just got more impacts to make. Napoli themselves have seen the quality of player he is and they really don't want to let him go. It's his decision no doubt, but maybe he's just got to get experiences in a different club environment. Even though, he still has an achievement to deliver onto the team too.

 Since Osimhen joined Napoli, he's been their key player and he's been doing his striking job perfectly without errors, even in times of emotional derailment from fans and the coach, he's still being able to keep his mind focused. He's in no wise the best thing that's happened to Napoli. He's the best addition to the team. Although Chelsea are having eyes on him but it's likely that Napoli won't let him slip without a very good replacement for him. His exit will place a threat to the teams performance subsequently and they may likely go back drastically.

 For Chelsea, he may not be able to cope immediately, he'd need time to blend and it's likely that the Chelsea pattern may not fit him. No doubt he's got the decision to make but he's got to weigh the options too considering that Chelsea can as well give him a whole new experience to football even though they're declining currently in their performance.

Linked with Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City and now Arsenal? I no longer know what to believe go he very honest. His beef with Thomas Tuchel pushed him towards leaving and since then, he hasn't said nothing about leaving the club but we all know he would during the transfer window.

He already had a good time with Bayern Munich anyways, it's time they see him leaving. This will not be the first player Thomas Tuchel has fought with, and when you take a peep, he is always wrong in a way.
Return to Manchester City to work with Pep Guardiola is possible but believe that, City can't drop names like Rico the yougin and also Rodri, what are the chances of game times?

I would love him heading to La Liga Competition anyways he will add a lot to the club.

In fact, Joshua Kimmich's days at Bayern Munich may already be over. Even though he has a contract until June 2025 with Bayern, the player seems to be very willing to swap the Bundesliga for LaLiga.
At 28 years old... he is no longer a new player, but he is ready to take on new challenges and the German player's differences with Bavarians coach Thomas Tuchel seem to be increasing the chances of Joshua leaving. I believe this could be the trigger for him to leave his homeland for Spain.

In addition to all this, we cannot forget that Joshua is also Xavi Hernández's favorite to fill the absence left by Busquets in midfield.

For these reasons, I also believe he will leave Bayern

Kimmich has so far not been willing to extend his contract at Bayern Munich, so that makes him a target for many clubs , I think Kimmich will be an addition to any squad that does manage to get him next season and I think with his age now of course he can be a player who will be able to help the club with all his experience so far at Bayern Munich,  Kimmich has featured quite regularly as a defensive midfielder in the Bayern Munich squad, 377 appearances with 41 goals and 101 assists of course certainly means that he is really a player worth fighting for by many big teams.

So far Kimmich stated there have been no serious talks with other teams and I think it should be an opportunity for Arsenal to come in and make a deal with Kimmich first, so they have a greater chance of getting him next summer, I think to sign Kimmich they should have the courage to spend a lot of money, because I think Kimmich would be the right option to replace Partey and Jorginho, who is most likely to leave Arsenal next season, currently has Kimmich's price on the market reaching 63 million euros and maybe Arsenal can get a lower price than Bayern Munich because of his current situation and also the contract that will expire in 2025.

There has been much speculation about the transfer of this uncommon player with interest from takers. Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle, Tottenham, and now Arsenal.  I don't think Joshua Kimmich will be expensive considering that he has one year remaining in his contract and his age. According to some, reports the deal might be worth about £12m. Mikel Arteta intends to sign the versatile midfielder because of his experience which will have some positive impact on the young team. Signing the German international will make the Arsenal be filled with quality midfielders  giving Arteta many options. Arsenal's coach will have the opportunity to take a close look at the midfielder when they meet for the Champions League fixture

This 29 year old is a very important player for his team, Bayern Munich. So I don't think Bayern Munich is going to let him go. Even if they let him go I’m sure that they won't make it easy at all. They will probably ask for an absurd amount of money for him. And since they are planning to have a new coach, I don't think they will make big changes before the new coach joins. They have already said that they are not going to let him go as far as I know. But Arsenal really looks to be very interested and also determined to get him. Maybe if Arsenal can throw enough money to work them they will eventually sell him.  but how much money is going to be enough? I think that is a big question for Arsenal to solve right now.

100 million is now the usual amount for a top player, many clubs can pay it for Osimhen if they want to make such an acquisition at all. Even if Osimhen were a free agent, due to the huge shortage of qualified strikers, the club that would receive him would be forced to pay a signing bonus.
I think you remember Klopp’s words about the fact that under him they will never spend 100 million on a player or Bayern’s policy of getting top players either for free or very cheap. Even these principle market players have changed their position.
In my opinion, it's not about the money at all.

What's wrong with it? Madrid priced him so high because he is a complete and fully developed striker. You will not even be able to find someone who is at the same level as him, like Vini. Even Rodrygo is better compared to the whole strikers owned by Chelsea. He can play LW, RW, and ST.
He is a complete striker. I think that even rodrygo is a bit better than vini this season. That price is worthy enough to be exchanged with a complete striker like him. It's not about whether other club can/can't afford him.


I strongly disagree with this. Mudryk 100m, Enzo 100m, caicedo 100m. . How can't you price Rodrygo at more than 100m? He is as good as mbappe and this is also the main reason why real madrid priced him very high.
I often watch how he was carrying real madrid alone when vini and other main strikers were injured. I have also strong points why rodrygo shall be priced very high. He is even better than osimhen.

Are there any rumors that Real Madrid want to sell Rodrygo? I have not seen anything like that, i believe he is happy in Real Madrid and the club is also happy with him. Of course Mbappe is joining the team pretty soon and there would be strong competition for a starting place in the team, but i don't think it is something Rodrygo should be worried about, he basically has to keep his head down and keep doing his job and then see what happens.

As for his value, it should be nothing close to £100m, he does not have the quality to be worth that much, but these days anything is possible in the transfer market, just take a look at how much Chelsea signed players like Caicedo, Enzo, etc, nowadays clubs just place outrageous amounts on their players in the hope that they would get a team which would sign them.

Have you ever thought of other situations where when someone really wants to leave the club then he will do anything from the start so that he is actually allowed to leave and find a new club as his future target and that is not the case for Mbappe.

Mbappe always provides drama every season when the transfer window opens but in the end he continues his adventure at PSG even when there are several clubs who want his services but he always extends his contract just because there is an offer that he thinks is very good. This means that in this case he does not really want to leave, it's just that he wants an exclusive contract from PSG for his continuity at PSG because in the end if he really wanted to leave since a few seasons ago he should have done it but until now he is still at PSG.

PSG and Chelsea have a bad habit of recruiting players, and they do not hesitate to spend money to break transfer records, even though sometimes investment in players does not go according to expectations. If you assess the best opportunity for Osimhen, Arsenal is a good place to continue his career in the future. Chelsea has Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson on the front lines, the competition will be even tighter, while at PSG they also have several names who can replace Mbappe role. In my opinion, staying at Napoli is clearly a waste of time, because Napoli will miss playing in the Champions League.

The depth of Arsenal squad this season is quite good, Arteta has more even rotation options, they just lack a sharp striker on the front line. In their transfer history, Arsenal are very careful when spending money. But in the past few seasons since Arteta became head coach, Arsenal management has not hesitated to buy expensive players. Competition in Ligue 1 will be quite easy for PSG, there are no significant challenges there. Joining Chelsea is also not right, it could be that his career will fade faster because Pochettino is not a coach who can manage the club well.

It's a very true comment. There is almost no difference between Osimhen's transfer to Chelsea and his transfer to any Arab club. Chelsea may continue to be interested in top players, but I don't think they will get anything in return.

He has a 120 million euro release clause. I think this is a good price for a player like him. So it's not hard to imagine that many big European clubs will be after him in the next transfer window. We also know that Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germain are interested in him as well as Premier League teams.
