His passing is KDB levels nearly.
However what he doesnt have is running power of a KDB. He plays a lot of his passes where you'd expect Rodri to be playing them from (though I know in this video he is playing at right back a well but Im ignoring those passes as there is no way he can play right back in the prem - he would get roasted).
One thing that is noteable in this video at least is that he is given a lot of time in midfield - there is very little pressure on him at all as he is playing them from very deep.....
You could argue that we have the players that can already do this....KDB, Rodri are both excellent/worldclass at it....
Id also wonder what he would be lke against the higher pressing teams/more physical/better teams like Arsenal, liverpool etc where he would be under pressure and pressed
Great player but Im not too sure he is what we need...we need physicality in midfield as well as that passing range and technical skill...KDB's legs are not going to last the season and we need to replace that energy (along with that class - Kimmich doesnt provide all of this only part of it).
The deeper our midfielders play, the more time they tend to have given how many teams sit off us and create a low block. Somebody with an immense passing range - and defensive nous - from deep would be fantastic for us (in addition to the King, Rodri).
Not only that, Pep has worked with Kimmich in the past so not an unknown at all to need a bedding-in period. Or not as much of one. He knows what he'd be getting.
Plus, Pep improves players (in the majority of cases) so you can look at Kimmich as he is now and then think of an improved version when picturing him in the side.
