Barça’s Interest in Joshua Kimmich
Joshua Kimmich is considered one of the best midfielders in the world and has become a priority target for FC Barcelona. Former Barça coach, Xavi Hernández, already had in mind signing Kimmich during his tenure, but with the arrival of Hansi Flick to the Blaugrana bench, interest has become even more evident. Now, all that remains is for the Euro Cup to end so that Barça and Bayern Munich can begin negotiations to close the operation. However, Barça is not the only club interested in the player, as strong competition is expected, including Real Madrid.
The Need for a New Midfielder at Barça
FC Barcelona urgently needs to find a new midfielder, since since the departure of Sergio Busquets, the team has lacked a player who can set the pace of the Blaugrana game in the center of the field. Despite attempts with players like Oriol Romeu, none have managed to fill the void left by Busquets. For this reason, Barça considers this position an absolute priority to strengthen the team for next season.
The Competition to Sign Joshua Kimmich
FC Barcelona has already started talks with Bayern Munich to find out the situation of Joshua Kimmich. Although signing him would be affordable, with an estimated value of less than 50 million euros, the operation will not be easy. The Bavarian club will seek to obtain benefits from a possible sale and could request players in exchange, such as Ronald Araujo. However, Barça has not yet made a final decision.
Furthermore, Barça faces strong competition to sign Kimmich. According to reports, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Bayern Munich themselves are also interested in the services of the German midfielder. This means that Barça will have to make a higher financial offer if they want to secure his signing.
Barça’s Financial Challenge
FC Barcelona is in a complicated financial situation, which makes the possibility of signing Joshua Kimmich even more difficult. Unless a financial miracle occurs, the Blaugrana club could have to give up its attempt to sign the German midfielder this summer.
