Joshua Kimmich, a fixture in the middle of the field for Bayern Munich, has been linked with a move to FC Barcelona for a long time. Last summer, there were rumors that the club was interested in the German international player; but, the club’s financial situation prevented them from completing a transfer.

As the summer transfer window of 2024 approaches, Barcelona is still on the lookout for a pivot midfielder of world-class caliber, and there have been rumors that Kimmich could be a potential candidate.

In light of the fact that his contract at the Allianz Arena is set to end in 2025, he will be entering the final year of his term during the summer. This will make it possible for Barcelona to investigate the possibility of acquiring him from the Bavarian giants.

Man United and Liverpool both enter the race.

In spite of this, Barcelona’s current financial situation would still make it difficult for the club to acquire Kimmich from Bayern Munich, given that his current market worth is estimated to be €75 million.

Sky Sports is now stating that two Premier League heavyweights, Liverpool and Manchester United, have also indicated interest in signing Kimmich in the summer of this year. This comes on top of the fact that they have already shown interest in signing Kimmich.

Both of the Premier League clubs could use a quality addition to their rosters in the middle of the field, and it appears that they have identified the German international as the type of player they are interested in acquiring.

In light of the fact that Barca was already facing challenges in their pursuit of Kimmich due to the club’s current financial condition, this does come as a cause for concern for the association..

Alternate choices are available.

A number of other players, in addition to Kimmich, are being considered by Barcelona for the pivot midfield position that will be strengthened over the summer of 2019.

Martin Zubimendi, who plays for Real Sociedad, continues to be one of the primary objectives, despite the fact that his release clause of sixty million euros provides a challenge. An issue of a similar nature would arise with Amadou Onana, who plays for Everton.

During this time, potential free agents like Wilfred Ndidi and Guido Rodriguez have also been cited as further options that could be considered.
