German media sources are suggesting that midfielder Joshua Kimmich could potentially join FC Barcelona on a free transfer in 2025. Bayern Munich, however, is growing increasingly concerned that Kimmich may be allowing his contract to run down in order to make the move to the Catalan giants. According to Bild, Bayern Munich is aware that Barcelona's head coach, Xavi Hernandez, has been in contact with Kimmich.
In an effort to avoid losing Kimmich for nothing in 2025, Bayern Munich is reportedly open to negotiating his transfer to Barcelona this summer for a reduced fee. Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi is also said to be a top target for Xavi as Barcelona prepares for the post-Sergio Busquets era. Busquets recently announced his departure from Barcelona after spending 15 years with the club, joining the ranks of former Barcelona star Lionel Messi at Inter Miami, where Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez currently play.
