Manchester City could allegedly make an attempt to sign both Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich and RB Leipzig's Dani Olmo this summer.

Manchester City are reportedly considering making an attempt to sign both Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich and RB Leipzig's Dani Olmo during this summer's transfer window.

Kimmich is set to leave Bayern this summer in search of a fresh challenge, and a number of clubs are being credited with an interest in the Germany international.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all said to be keen on the 29-year-old, who only has a contract at Allianz Arena until June 2025.

However, according to The Sun, there is also interest from Man City, and Kimmich is open to a reunion with Pep Guardiola, having played under the Citizens head coach at Bayern.

The report claims that Bayern will ask for around £40m for Kimmich, who wants to play in midfield for his next club rather than in the right-back spot.

Kimmich is expected to leave Bayern this summer

Kimmich is believed to favour making the move to the Premier League despite potentially having offers on the table from both Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Meanwhile, it is being reported that Man City are also considering making a move for Leipzig attacker Olmo during the summer transfer window.

The Premier League champions were linked with the Spain international last year and are allegedly considering reigniting their interest during the current market.

Olmo's future remains the subject of much speculation, with Barcelona thought to be keen to re-sign the attacker, while Man United are said to be admirers of the versatile attacker.

The forward is currently with the Spain squad at Euro 2024, so a firm decision on his future is unlikely to be made until the European Championship has concluded.

Would Olmo be a good signing for Man City?

The 26-year-old had his injury problems during the 2023-24 campaign, but he still managed to contribute eight goals and five assists in 25 appearances in all competitions for Leipzig.

Meanwhile, in total, the forward has represented his current term on 148 occasions, scoring 29 goals and registering 34 assists in the process.

Olmo has also played a role in Spain's progression to the last-16 stage of Euro 2024, featuring against Croatia and Albania, providing an assist against the latter last time out.

The forward has a €60m (£51m) release clause in his current deal, but it allegedly expires in the middle of next month, with Man City therefore facing a race against the clock if they are to sign him.

The futures of Bernardo Silva, Julian Alvarez and Jack Grealish are currently in doubt, and Olmo's versatility makes him an attractive proposition for Man City, who could potentially sign both the Spaniard and Kimmich for around £91m during the summer market.
