Barcelona is eager for a pivot, and they believe Kimmich would be an ideal solution. The 28-year-old could be available on a cheap deal in the summer, given his contract expires in 2025, yet it appears that the Catalans will not be the only club attempting to sign him.
According to The Athletic (via MD), Pep Guardiola is eager to rejoin with Kimmich, who he introduced to the German champions during his time there, at Manchester City. Over the next few months, the reigning European champions will assess whether to make a summer move for Kimmich.
Barcelona would ideally like to sign Kimmich as a free agent in 2025, but if Manchester City sign him during the summer, that option may not arise. They could compete, but their financial situation is likely to limit their ability to do so.
