Sky Sports said that the man from Rottweil said, “I know Guardiola and have a lot to thank him for.” I came from the second level and he let me play in the Bundesliga.
“We won the double together, and I played for Germany after that season.” Of course, I won’t stop him from coming back.”
Kimmich played 36 times for Bayern Munich under Guardiola and set up two goals as the team won the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal.
The German playmaker and the Spanish player should be able to join up again at Manchester City this summer.
