Manchester City eyes Kimmich to replace Phillips

Manchester City may target Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich as they look to fill the gap left by departing midfielder Kalvin Phillips, according to Talk Sport.

There is speculation that the Premier League champions have identified Kimmich as the ideal replacement for Phillips, who is reportedly heading in the direction of Juventus.

Kimmich, a key player for Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich, is seen as a suitable fit for Pep Guardiola’s side. His potential move to City could trigger Phillips’ departure.

Rumours suggest that the relationship between Kimmich and his current boss at Bayern, Thomas Tuchel, is not at its best, which might facilitate any potential move.
