Kimmich change in summer?
Sports director fuels rumors
In the past, FC Barcelona's interest in Joshua Kimmich from FC Bayern has repeatedly surfaced.
The German international is under contract with FC Bayern until 2025, although there currently appear to be no discussions about a contract extension.
The Munich team must clarify this by next summer at the latest, otherwise there is a risk of a free transfer in 2025.
In an interview with
Esport3,
Barca sporting director Deco fueled the rumors about Kimmich again.
“Kimmich is another top player, but it’s not easy to sign him either,” said the 46-year-old.
The midfielder remains an interesting prospect for the Catalans, who are still looking for a midfielder.

End of the Busquets era: Will Kimmich follow in his footsteps?
Sergio Busquets' era at FC Barcelona ended in the summer.
The Barca homegrown player has been an absolute constant in the Catalans' defensive midfield over the past 15 years.
His contract expired and he joined Inter Miami, similar to Jordi Alba and Lionel Messi.
Since then there has been a gap in this position.
“It is virtually impossible to replace Busquets.
“Rodri is the closest thing to him, but Manchester City would never sell him to any club!” said Deco.
Kimmich could follow in his footsteps, but following the resignation of Barca coach Xavi, it is not yet clear who will coach the club from the summer onwards.
Therefore, a quick decision cannot be expected.

When will discussions take place at FC Bayern about Kimmich's contract?
There will be a lot of work for those responsible at FC Bayern in the coming months.
In addition to Kimmich's contract, those of Alphonso Davies and Leroy Sané also expire in the summer of 2025.
The record champions would like to extend their contracts with all three this season.
Discussions should follow.
If an agreement is not reached with Kimmich on a new contract by the summer, FC Bayern will have to consider how it would like to proceed in this situation.
Do you use the last summer before the end of his contract to sell him or let him go free the following year.
There will definitely be no shortage of interested parties.
