Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich has reportedly shortlisted three Premier League destinations as possible destinations as he continues to wait for a new contract.
The 29-year-old is under contract until the end of next season, but doubts remain over his long-term future at the Bavarian club.
Discussions about an extension have yet to take place and as it stands now it is ‘very unlikely’ that Kimmich will sign a new contract, according to Heaven Germany.
The report states that Bayern are open to selling Kimmich, who is currently on duty for Germany at Euro 2024, this summer as they can get a fee for him.
The player has accepted the option of leaving Bayern and would have no problem entering the final year of his contract without renewing.

Kimmich is currently without an agent and although he is receiving support and advice, interested clubs will have to contact him directly.
Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are on the list of clubs Kimmich will consider joining alongside Barcelona and Real Madrid.
“The situation is completely clear,” Kimmich said last week after being questioned about his future.
‘I have a contract with Bayern until 2025, so it is not mainly up to me to be active now.
‘My focus is exclusively on the European Championships and a discussion will follow afterwards.’
On the appointment of Vincent Kompany as Bayern’s new manager, Kimmich said: ‘Of course I know him from a distance as a player. I can’t judge him as a coach yet.

‘Of course it is important for my future, but first and foremost it is important to me what the club thinks. It’s nice that we have one less thing to worry about.’
Kimmich joined from RB Leipzig for £7.1 million in 2015 and has since made 390 appearances, scoring 42 goals and providing 104 assists.
He has also helped the club to eight Bundesliga titles in that time, as well as the Champions League and a number of other honours.
