As things stand, Kimmich sees Real Madrid as the most attractive destination for him should he have to leave Bayern Munich.

The versatile midfielder will continue to prioritize contract negotiations with the record Bundesliga champions.

However, if an agreement does not materialize, he would be open to signing for Real Madrid, which is looking for a replacement for the already retired Toni Kroos.

This development will be a concern for Barcelona, ​​given that Kimmich can be a potentially solid addition to the team, providing further depth in midfield, even more so if the Catalans end up parting ways with Frenkie de Jong in the summer.

It will be interesting to see how this Kimmich saga develops in the coming weeks, with further talks expected with Bayern, while Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and some other teams such as Manchester City are also in the picture.
