Strategic Mastery: Two Game-Changing Lineups Real Madrid Could Deploy with the Potential Signing of Joshua Kimmich

Real Madrid are being linked with a potential surprise move for Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich in the summer window.

There are some conflicting reports on the matter, but reliable German outlets have claimed that Kimmich is interested in joining the club as a free agent this summer.

He can actually be a really prolific signing on a free transfer, mostly thanks to his versatility and experience factor which can help add more depth to Real Madrid’s squad.

Here we look at two ways Real Madrid can line up if Kimmich is drafted into the current squad next season.

Kimmich is at his best in that defensive midfield position, where he can help his side control games and also excel as a play-breaker for the opponents. The hard-working midfielder excels in regaining possession and is a fiery character with his tackles and interceptions.

He can easily slot into the deeper midfield role at Real Madrid, adding more stability and control to the side. Kimmich can also allow more freedom for the likes of Fede Valverde and Jude Bellingham, allowing them to go forward more often.

Kimmich’s best thing is he can slot into multiple positions with relative ease and without complaint. The German star is also a reliable right-back, who can excel from the wide areas and also be defensively quite sturdy.

He has the ability to deal with dangerous wingers and also boasts a wicked crossing ability to create chances from the wide areas. He can be a reliable back-up right-back whenever Real Madrid need him to be.
