Christian Falk reacts to rumours Liverpool are interested in signing Joshua Kimmich this summer

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.
