Hansi Flick wants to bring the Germany captain to Barcelona because of his versatility

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick is interested in bringing Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich to Camp Nou for next season.

According to a report by Jordi Gil in SPORT, the German international is one of Flick’s top targets as Barcelona’s sporting management shifts its focus towards future planning.

While Barcelona have decided not to make any additions during the current winter transfer window, preparations for the upcoming campaign are underway.

The German market is especially attractive for the Catalan giants as it offers high quality players who could be available on free transfers at the end of the season.

one of the favorites

Among the possible options, Kimmich stands out as Flick’s favorite due to his versatility and experience.

At 29 years old, Kimmich remains a highly sought-after player throughout Europe, with several Premier League clubs closely monitoring his situation. Bayern Munich, however, has not given up on renewing its contract, which expires in 2025.

Barcelona currently have a decent midfield setup with emerging talents such as Marc Casado and the fit-again Marc Bernal, but Kimmich is certainly more than just a midfielder.

A versatile option

Flick reportedly views Kimmich as an ideal addition to the team due to his ability to operate as both a central midfielder and right-back.

The right side of Barcelona’s defense is an area of ​​concern, with Jules Kounde shouldering much of the responsibility and youngster Hector Fort still lacking consistent playing time.

Kimmich’s ability to play multiple roles makes him an attractive option, especially if he becomes available on a free transfer.

Recently, Bayern Munich reportedly issued an ultimatum to Kimmich, urging him to clarify his intentions regarding the renewal of the contract.

While this has given Barcelona some hope, no final decision has been made and Kimmich’s future remains uncertain.

If the opportunity arose, Barcelona could land a highly versatile and proven player without incurring a transfer fee, a prospect that would certainly align with their long-term plans.
