The Catalan team, led by President Joan Laporta, is still seeking to strengthen the ranks with the best elements, while not neglecting the financial crisis that the team is going through.
What worries the Catalan team most is the clear focal point. After the departure of star Sergio Busquets from Barcelona last summer, this position is still one of the Catalan team’s strongest weaknesses.
In light of this, Barcelona is striving with all its might to sign a superstar player of high caliber in this position, especially in light of the team’s competition on more than one front, locally and abroad.
Press reports today revealed the latest developments regarding the transfer of the Bayern Munich midfielder to Barcelona next summer.
The Bayern Munich star has been linked to a move to Barcelona since last summer, as the player is a first target for Spanish coach Xavi Hernandez.
According to what was published by the German newspaper “Bild”, it is difficult for Barcelona to meet Bayern Munich’s financial requests next summer 2024.
The newspaper explained that Kimmich decided to continue until the end of his contract and leave for Barcelona for free in 2025, but this strategy was caused by pressure on Bayern Munich to sell him at the lowest price to Barcelona next summer.
The newspaper confirmed that Kimmich has a strong desire to move to Barcelona and play and train under his role model, Xavi Hernandez.
