Joshua Kimmich has not yet signed a new deal Bayern Munich and could leave in the summer
Joshua Kimmich is not keen on a move to Arsenal despite him potentially leaving Bayern Munich on a free this summer.
The 30-year-old, who has enjoyed a trophy-laden career with the German giants, is out of contract in a matter of months and the club recently withdrew their offer of an extension after becoming frustrated by the lack of a response from the German international.
Kimmich has played more than 400 times for the Bundesliga giants across almost a decade, but could soon depart, although a move to north London is not on his radar. Arsenal are keen on bolstering their midfield ranks and have been keeping tabs on the player due to his availability.
However the 30-year-old is not looking to join the Premier League side. PSG have come to the party and made a concrete offer to the player, who may have a choice between heading to the French capital or staying put if the situation changes, reports Bild.

Arsenal are looking to bolster their options in the middle of the pitch, to help compliment the likes of Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard. Thomas Partey and Jorginho are reportedly departing this summer and the signing of Martin Zubimendi has been touted.
Kimmich would add yet more quality and has Champions League-winning experience on his CV. It was the German who scored the goal that knocked Arsenal out of Europe last term as they were downed by Bayern.
Manchester City have previously been linked with Kimmich. Pep Guardiola was at the helm in Germany when the versatile midfielder first came through the ranks and was crucial in his early development, but they have not yet been discussed as an option.

Bayern chief Max Eberl has recently called on Kimmich to make up his mind on whether he will stay or go. He said: "As has often been said and confirmed, the talks have been respectful and appreciative. But everyone is of the opinion that a decision should be made as soon as possible."
Last season Kimmich endured a difficult time under then manager Thomas Tuchel, who was public was criticism. The new England manager attempted to sign a defensive midfielder, a role that Kimmich felt he could play.
This season under Vincent Kompany Kimmich has made 36 appearances - all of them as a starter.
