Arsenal, Liverpool and Barcelona are interested in a move for Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich this summer, according to reports in Spain.
The 28-year-old has established himself as a key figure for Bayern since his arrival from RB Leipzig in 2015.
Bayern are looking to strengthen Thomas Tuchel’s squad in the summer transfer window and the potential arrival of a new midfielder has sparked speculation over Kimmich’s future.
According to Marca, Barcelona have identified Kimmich as a potential replacement for Sergio Busquets, who is leaving Camp Nou at the end of the season, and the Germany international would welcome the chance to make the move to Spain.
The report also claims that Barca would face competition from both Arsenal and Liverpool, as they are also interested in Kimmich.
However, Fabrizio Romano reports that Bayern are already ruling out the idea of selling Kimmich this summer as they view him as a ‘crucial’ part of the club’s plans.

The Portugal international joined Bayern on loan from Manchester City in the January transfer window and has been linked with a move to Arsenal this summer.
