Bayern advancing in Kimmich new deal as Madrid remain focused on Alexander-Arnold

Bayern Munich are close to reaching an agreement with their key player Joshua Kimmich to sign a new contract and prevent the German from leaving the Bundesliga leaders this summer as a free agent, something they have already achieved with Alphonso Davies.
For his part, the player has not yet given the green light to the Allianz Arena outfit but everything points to both club and the 30-year-old midfielder reaching an agreement soon, thus closing the door definitively on Real Madrid.
Although there were rumors that 'Los Blancos' were interested in landing Kimmich as a free agent, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the 'Merengues' did not start talks with him at any time despite having been informed of his situation.
In fact, the Italian journalist confirms that Ancelotti's side remain purely interested in signing Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold as a free agent from March 2024.
