coach Hansi Flick is familiar with the player and considers him a perfect addition to his system. The fact that the 29-year-old’s contract expires in 2025 makes him a potentially attainable option for Barcelona.
Nevertheless, Barcelona might face challenges in acquiring Kimmich, as his salary could be a concern, and competition from other interested clubs adds to the difficulty.
PSG eager to sign Kimmich
Reports indicate that Manchester City is competing with Barcelona for Kimmich, with Pep Guardiola showing interest.
However, PSG has also joined the competition, pursuing the Bayern Munich star with determination.
According to AS, PSG manager Luis Enrique is impressed by Kimmich’s versatile skills and aims to bring him to Paris this summer.
The Ligue 1 champions are now working to reach a deal with the player and his representatives before progressing with Bayern Munich. Kimmich is likely to leave the Allianz Arena, but any decision about his future will be made after UEFA Euro 2024 concludes.
PSG plans to finalize an agreement with Kimmich’s camp, especially with Barcelona and other Premier League teams also keen on signing him.
Barcelona need to act quickly
While Barcelona has alternatives like Amadou Onana and Mikel Merino, Kimmich might be a more cost-effective acquisition this summer, with reports suggesting a potential price range of €30-40 million.
Additionally, the player is acquainted with Flick’s methods from their time together at Bayern Munich and the German national team.
Thus, Barcelona must act promptly to ensure they secure Kimmich, particularly with PSG aggressively pursuing his signature.
