Barça: A coveted midfielder responds to the Blaugranas!

Titled in La Liga but eliminated too soon in the Champions League, FC Barcelona wants to shine on the stage again. To achieve its ends, the Catalan club could also register the arrival of several recruits during this summer transfer window.

Crowned King of Spain at a good distance from Real Madrid, FC Barcelona is coming out of a contrasting season. If the Catalans have largely dominated La Liga, Xavi’s men have however sadly distinguished themselves in European competitions. Eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League behind Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, the Blaugranas could have consoled themselves with the Europa League. But it was nothing. Ousted by Manchester United, the Barcelonans took the door of the C3 from the 1/16th finals.

After these big underperformances, unworthy of this reference club, Barça intends to take its revenge next September and this could go through effective recruitment. For many months, the interest of the Spanish Champion for Joshua Kimmich has been making headlines in particular. Renowned for his regularity and seriousness, the Bayern Munich midfielder does indeed present an interesting profile to strengthen the Barcelona midfield.

Kimmich curbs the ardor of Barça

But his arrival is far from settled since the German is still under contract with the Bavarian team for two more seasons (June 2025). Invited to react on his future, the 28-year-old player also remained evasive on these noises from the corridors with the daily newspaper Picture.

” It was difficult not to notice it (Editor’s note: Barça’s interest). Generally speaking, it’s not something I think about a lot. I still have two years of contract with FC Bayern and we have big plans there”. thus insisted on recalling the native of Rottweil. A few days ago, Xavi for his part was rather reassuring about the possibility of securing the services of Joshua Kimmich. ““He is under contract with Bayern so it depends on his will. Look at (Robert) Lewandowski for example, he wanted to come so it happened”, had thus declared the coach of Barça.
