The 'Kimmich operation' continues to be distant in the offices of FC Barcelona. Although the full-back would have been offered to the club by his entourage, Bayern Munich have no intention of letting Joshua leave this summer

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The Bayern Munich is to a step to complete his first season without titles from the 2011/12, which promises important changes in the Bavarian staff this summer. In this sense, the FC Barcelona will look for to take advantage of the 'revolution' that pretends to implement the directive headed by Oliver Kahn with the signing of Joshua Kimmich, although the group muniqués, for the moment, does not have intentions to leave him go.

In this regard, the German journalist Florian Plettenberg clears that the right-handed side, for the moment, follows without agent and the rumour on his possible arrival to the Barça produced after an ofrecimiento unofficial of somebody of his surroundings. In accordance with Plettenberg, the defender has not conversed with any club up to now, although it neither has pactada his renewal with the Bayern. Joshua culminates agreement in June of 2025 and his value in Transfermarkt reaches the 80 million euros.

The Barça would look for to repeat the 'case Lewandowski'

It does a year sucedió something similar with Robert Lewandowski. The exit of the Pole gestó from the end of the 2021/22, although his case was different because only it subtracted him a year of agreement and he same communicated to the managerial his wish to go out in summer. This, for now, has not occurred with Kimmich, since the player of 28 years has not manifested intention any to leave .

However, the increasing interest of the Barça would not happen unobserved for the one of Rottweil. Although it is indisputable headline in the Bayern, the possibility to test luck in another more powerful League and with a big club could do him change to seem in brief. Besides, in Catalonia would be received by 'Lewy' and his compatriot Marc-André ter Stegen, a key factor to facilitate his adaptation.

The price of Kimmich, main obstacle for his exit

For Xavi Hernández, Joshua Kimmich would be a fantastic reinforcement, since it treats of an able player to surrender without problems so much in the right side as in the centre of the field, like pivote. The exit of Sergio Busquets forces to the club to fichar a '5' and, in front of the complexity of the negotiations by Martín Zubimendi, the option of the germano luce very attractive by his profile, experience and quality.

Nevertheless, the 'operation Kimmich' will result almost impossible for the Barça if the Bayern denies to go down his price. While the Real Sociedad asks 60 'kilos' by Zubimendi, the Bavarians would demand 20M more by the international German, an unfeasible figure for a Barcelona urgido for finding alternative 'low cost'. By the contrary, if in the Allianz Sand accessed to negotiate an exit to loan or a traspaso to the drop (between 35 and 40 millions), the history would be another. For now, it will be necessary to expect at the end of the season to know the official posture so much of the player as of the directive, since the leaf of route of the Bayern aims to be so intense like impredecible in summer.
