Challenges in Barça’s planning
Barça continues to prepare for next season taking into account the complex situation facing the Blaugrana club.
The frustrated desire of Joshua Kimmich
Beyond the ongoing negotiations with Nico Williams, the main focus in Barça’s transfer market is the figure of Joshua Kimmich.
Unattainable economic aspirations
Bayern Munich’s financial demands have completely ruled out the possibility of Kimmich’s arrival at the Blaugrana club, making the signing an almost impossible objective to achieve.
Opportunities for PSG and Manchester City
While Barça has ruled out negotiations, both PSG and Manchester City are reportedly trying to persuade Kimmich to join their respective clubs.
The high cost of signing
Bayern Munich has set a price of 50 million euros for the sale of Kimmich, a sum that has turned out to be very onerous for Barça.
Kimmich, whose contract is coming to an end with the Bavarians, appears to be increasingly distant from Barcelona despite his initial interest in joining the club.
Renewed interest from Manchester City
Manchester City, under the direction of Pep Guardiola, has resumed talks to acquire Kimmich, showing renewed interest in the German player.
Guardiola is looking to strengthen the midfield, and the signing of Kimmich would be fundamental to his plans for the team.
In this way, the chances of Kimmich joining Manchester City seem to far outweigh the options of a transfer to Barça.
Meanwhile, PSG have also shown interest in the player, which could result in a major setback for Barcelona.
