Joshua Kimmich has long been linked with a move to FC Barcelona, especially when Xavi Hernández was in charge.
While things appear to have calmed down following the arrival of Hansi Flick as coach, recent reports have suggested that the German tactician would welcome a reunion with his former protégé.
With Kimmich’s contract with Bayern Munich expiring at the end of the season, the blaugrana He can sign him for free in the summer, although it had been suggested that the midfielder would end up renewing his contract.
However, that does not seem to be the case.
Kimmich waiting for offers
In fact, according to Sky Germany (h/t SPORT), Kimmich has yet to respond to Bayern Munich about his intentions to renew his contract, despite the club asking for clarity before January 5.
Those responsible for the Bundesliga club now interpret the silence as if the midfielder was waiting for specific offers from Premier League clubs or Barcelona before making a final decision.
Bayern have made Kimmich’s renewal a top priority due to his exceptional performances this season. The 29-year-old player has received several renewal proposals but has not entered into negotiations.
Bayern had asked Kimmich to clarify his decision by January 5. The request was not presented as an ultimatum but rather a call for transparency to assist in planning for the upcoming season, but there has been no response.
The Bavarians remain persistent but recognize that the player seems to have important doubts about his future.
conscious Barcelona
Barcelona is aware of the situation and coach Hansi Flick has a close relationship with Kimmich. However, the financial demands that it currently implies exceed the capabilities of the Catalan club.
While Barça see him as a valuable asset due to his versatility when it comes to playing both as a midfielder and right back, no formal steps have been taken to secure his signing for the summer.
If Kimmich decides to leave Bayern permanently, Barcelona could intensify their interest.
Meanwhile, Kimmich has attracted considerable attention in the Premier League, with both Manchester City and Manchester United expressing interest in his future.
PSG are also monitoring the situation, although the player is said to be in favor of moving to the Premier League or La Liga if he leaves Bayern.
In Germany there is a consensus that Bayern Munich has always been Kimmich’s preferred destination. However, delays in negotiations now call into question his continuity at the Bavarian club.
