Kimmich said at an event at the Paulaner Brewery in Munich: “I do not know where this message came from.

“It’s not just conceivable, but also my own objective, to stay at Bayern for longer – on the proviso that I play.”

Kimmich has made 39 appearances but only 20 starts this season and was said to be growing frustrated.

Pep Guardiola was then reported to be keen on making a move for £40million-rated Kimmich.

Guardiola gave Kimmich his big break at the Allianz Arena and is keen to bring him to the Etihad.

The former RB Leipzig star can play full-back, centre-half and in midfield.

Kimmich is seen as one for the future in Bavaria and club chiefs are sure to demand an extraordinary price before agreeing to his exit.
