Liverpool often have a certain age profile in mind when shopping for new players in any given window.
That said, the Reds’ recruitment team could be about to engage in another exception this summer following Christian Falk’s latest tweet update.
The BILD reporter confirmed that Jurgen Klopp’s men and Manchester City ‘are interested’ in Bayern Munich man Joshua Kimmich for the summer.
True✅ Liverpool and Manchester City are interested in Joshua Kimmich @FCBayern (28, contract til 2025) for Summer #EnglischeWoche @BILD_Sport

The 28-year-old’s contract is due to expire in 2025 and the holding midfielder has endured a somewhat difficult relationship with Thomas Tuchel in recent times.

A worthwhile signing?
We were hoping we’d sign a reliable statesman in Thiago Alcantara when we snapped up the Spaniard from Munich back in 2020.
However, whilst we’ve most certainly been dazzled and bamboozled on occasion by the former Barcelona ace’s quality and class, injuries have meant we’ve perhaps not realised the full benefit of his talents.
Replacing his experience in the squad with that on offer from Kimmich, a footballer likewise well-versed in playing ‘the pass before the pass’, in that sense, may be an argument our recruitment team find persuasive.
Adding further depth to the right-back and holding midfield positions too simply can’t hurt.
