Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich has said that he is "concentrating on" his current side amid suggestions that he will be on the move during this summer's transfer window.
The Germany international remains a vital player for Bayern, making 21 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring once and providing six assists in the process.
However, the 28-year-old only has a contract at Allianz Arena until June 2025, and there have been claims that he will depart the German club this summer in search of a fresh challenge.
Barcelona are believed to have a long-term interest in the midfielder, while Man City are also said to be keen to secure his signature ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
A recent report claimed that Man City had considered a January move but are now prepared to wait until the end of the season to make an official approach for the German.
Kimmich has said that he is "concentrating on Bayern" and is expecting the club to approach him at some stage in the near future to discuss a possible extension.
"I'm actually just concentrating on Bayern," Kimmich told Sky Deutschland. "For me that [a move] wasn't an issue at all in the winter.
"I think we will sit down together at some point and that the club will them approach me. We will discuss everything among ourselves – and not with you."
Kimmich has featured on 368 occasions for Bayern in all competitions since his arrival from Stuttgart in the summer of 2015, scoring 41 goals and registering 100 assists in the process.
There have been suggestions that the midfielder could be available for as little as £25m over the summer if it becomes clear that he will not be signing a new deal at Bayern.
Kimmich has enjoyed huge success during his time in Munich, winning 20 trophies, including eight Bundesliga titles and the Champions League crown in 2019-20.
The German played the full 90 minutes of his side's 3-0 victory over Hoffenheim on Friday evening, with Bayern returning to action following the winter break.
Barcelona could struggle to sign Kimmich this summer due to their financial problems, but Man City are expected to be in a position to make an offer for him at the end of the campaign. body check tags ::
