Real Madrid are reportedly in talks with Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich, who could join the Spanish giants on a free transfer this summer.

Real Madrid continues its pursuit of Bayern Munich stars, with reports emerging that Joshua Kimmich is in contact with the Spanish club regarding a potential free transfer this summer, according to BILD.

Kimmich’s contract with Bayern is set to expire at the end of the season, allowing him to negotiate with other clubs. While the German champions are eager to extend the 29-year-old midfielder’s stay, no agreement has been reached yet, opening the door for Madrid to make their move.

Real Madrid has faced challenges in midfield this season following the retirement of Toni Kroos, while Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga have struggled with form. Additionally, Luka Modrić is nearing the end of his career and has been reduced to a rotational role. Bringing in Kimmich could provide a cost-effective solution to reinforce the squad.

Los Blancos are also in the race to sign Kimmich’s Bayern teammate, Alphonso Davies, though recent reports suggest that the Canadian full-back is leaning towards renewing his contract with the Bundesliga leaders. Bayern is determined to retain both players, but Kimmich’s situation is unique as he does not have an agent and negotiates deals independently.

Having spent a decade at Bayern, Kimmich has won eight Bundesliga titles, one Champions League trophy, and three DFB Pokal cups, amassing an impressive 418 appearances for the club.
