Kimmich is one of the names sought by Barcelona to strengthen that position in the midfield that has been badly left after the departure of Sergio Busquets.
With just over a year left on his contract with Bayern, the German’s price tag would not exceed 50 million, an affordable but currently unattainable figure for the Catalans’ precarious economy.
The options for Kimmich to end up in the Barca shirt depend on the player completing his contract with the Bavarians and arriving in the summer of 2025 as a free transfer.
A difficult option, considering that the big European teams are interested in his future.
One of them is Manchester United, who are looking for a midfielder that will allow them to release Casemiro.
After a successful first season, the veteran Brazilian midfielder has seen a dip in form this season, in which an injury has kept him out of action for three months.
The Red Devils want to get rid of a player who is already 32 years old, with one of the highest salaries in the team and still has three years of contract left on him.
