In the midst of Barcelona’s search for a midfielder to fill the void left by Sergio Busquets, Joshua Kimmich has made it clear that he has no intention of leaving Bayern Munich.
Rumors had circulated that Barcelona had set their sights on Kimmich, widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world, to bolster their squad.
However, respected German football journalist Florian Plettenberg revealed that the German international has firmly decided to stay at Bayern Munich, and there have been no discussions or contact between Kimmich and Barcelona regarding a potential transfer.
With veteran midfielder Sergio Busquets departing Barcelona after an illustrious 18-year career at the club, the Blaugrana face the challenge of finding a suitable replacement.
While Xavi, Barcelona’s coach, reportedly considered Kimmich as a potential solution, the player’s commitment to Bayern Munich has put an end to any speculation.
This decision by Kimmich solidifies his loyalty to Bayern Munich and reaffirms his dedication to the club. The Bayern faithful can rest assured that one of their key players will remain an integral part of their midfield.
Meanwhile, Barcelona is expected to have a busy summer in the transfer market despite their financial difficulties.
Xavi’s primary midfield target is believed to be Ilkay Gundogan from Manchester City, while Ruben Neves is also being considered for a potential move to Spain.
Additionally, persistent whispers of a possible return for Lionel Messi continue, although signing the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner would further strain the club’s financial situation.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Bayern Munich can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Joshua Kimmich’s unwavering commitment will keep him at the heart of their midfield, while Barcelona continues their search for a suitable successor to Sergio Busquets.
