Being connected with Leipzig, Bayern's title rival, is a bizarre inclusion which smacks of a threat more than anything.
Not really, Leipzig are the club which took Kimmich from Stutgart's academy and made him into one of German football's brightest prospects. He won back to back promotions with him, and now they've caught up with him at CL/title challenging level.
If he wants to stay in Germany but isn't happy with Bayern, Leipzig are the obvious choice and only club who could afford him too.
