Joshua Kimmich has been associated with FC Barcelona for a few weeks. In Munich, the midfielder is not for sale. But Barcelona is now becoming more active in courting Kimmich. Coach Xavi is said to have already had a conversation with the Bayern star.

While several German media have recently unanimously reported that Joshua Kimmich is absolutely not for sale at Bayern, FC Barcelona seems to be convinced that the 28-year-old can be convinced to move to the Camp Nou in the summer.

FC Barcelona are convinced of Kimmich Transfer in the summer

Barça coach Xavi Hernandez in particular seems to be a big fan of Kimmich and has no problem publicly courting the DFB international: “I spoke to him in Qatar. We met at an event, he said he was a fan of mine,” he told Spanish journalist Gerard Romero.

Even if Bayern are not willing to sell Kimmich, according to Xavi, a change in the summer is not completely impossible. He referred to Robert Lewandowski and his transfer from Munich to Barcelona in the summer of 2022: “He’s under contract with FC Bayern, so it depends on him. But look at Lewandowski. He wanted to come.”

Barcelona hope Kimmich wants to leave Klub

In plain language: Barça hopes that Kimmich wants to leave Bayern in the summer. But even if the midfielder should express a desire to change, those responsible on the Isar will probably not let him go, as he is contractually bound to the German record champions until 2025.
