Mathaus: ‘We know Hansi Flick holds Joshua Kimmich in high regard’

Lothar Mathaus has claimed Bayern Munich are well aware that Hansi Flick is a big fan of Joshua Kimmich as speculation continues over the Germany star’s future.

Kimmich is out of contract at the end of the season and there has been speculation he could move on, potentially to Barcelona.

Mathaus is hoping he will stay but knows that Flick would be keen if Kimmich did become available.

“Bayern have a great team, a great style of play and a great atmosphere. But maybe Kimmich wants to try something different. We know that at Barcelona there is a coach, Hansi Flick, who holds him in very high regard,” he told Abendzeitung.
