Pep Guardiola has lauded Kimmich as “one of the best defensive midfielders in the world.” Kimmich’s versatility is a key aspect of his game; he is not only adept at breaking up opposition plays but is also comfortable in possession.

While Newcastle are eager to secure Kimmich’s services this month, the player appears hesitant to make a midseason move. Currently under contract with Bayern Munich until 2025, discussions regarding a contract extension have not taken place. This leaves the possibility of a summer transfer open, providing a potential window for Newcastle to land the defensive midfielder.

The negotiations for Kimmich’s transfer involve navigating the player’s existing commitment to Bayern and his reluctance to depart midseason. The outcome remains uncertain, but the prospect of acquiring a player of Kimmich’s caliber is undoubtedly an exciting development for Newcastle United. Whether the transfer materializes in the current window or is deferred to the summer, Kimmich’s future continues to be a subject of keen interest in the footballing world.
