Florian Flettenberg, a reporter for Germany's Sky Sports, said on the 28th (Korea time) on social networking services (SNS) that Arsenal had been one of the clubs showing specific interest in Joshua Kimmich for a few days, and had already negotiated.
He added: "Asnall wants to sign Kimihi on a free transfer as Jorginho's replacement. Currently, Kimihi has received two official offers from overseas clubs, claiming that "one of them is from the English Premier League club".
Pletenberg said "These proposals are the main reason for Kimmich's hesitancy to sign an extension with Bayern Munich until at least 2028"Kimihi is still open to signing a contract with Bayern, and Bayern is also open to resuming negotiations. However, at the moment, it seems that they are only willing to proceed with the contract under the condition of maintaining the existing salary level."
Arsenal are paying attention to Kimihi to find a long-term replacement for Jorginho. Jorginho is one of the players whose contract with Arsenal expires this summer.
Kimihi is a world-class player who plays for Munich. It is a utility player who can play not only defensive midfielders, but also central defenders and side defenders. It can play both sides of offense and defense, and stable ball distribution is long-term.

But bringing Kimihi in doesn't seem easy. Other clubs are also likely to join the competition, and Munich is unlikely to send Kimihi as a free agent (FA).
British Cutoffside reported on the same day that `there are many other clubs who want Kimihi, and it is highly likely that Munich will not give up until the end to protect this important player.'
Kimihi is a player who has devoted himself to Bayern Munich for a long time. Also in Munich, to fill his void, he has to spend a huge amount of money to recruit a substitute. It's bound to be a burden. Arsenal are also expected to do their best to recruit.
The media reported "Nevertheless, Arsenal will do their best to persuade Kimihi. If he is recruited, he can strengthen the squad without huge investment in reinforcing midfield`The part Arsenal should be most concerned about at the moment is strengthening their offense in addition to midfield, so Kimihi`s free transfer could be a very attractive option," he said.
