Barcelona will soon formalise interest in Joshua Kimmich.
The Catalan giants are ready to submit an enquiry for the 28-year-old Bayern Munich utility man.
And Xavi Hernandez is willing to speak with the player to seal the deal in the summer transfer window.
But such is the class of Joshua Kimmich that he has been phenomenal as a right-back and a defensive midfielder.
But recent reports have claimed that the German international is open to leaving Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.
The Catalan giants hold a long-standing interest in the Bayern Munich utility man.
And the eagerness to sign the player is understandable, considering Sergio Busquets is on the verge of leaving Barcelona in the summer transfer window.
The veteran midfielder’s departure will leave a glaring void in the Barcelona midfield unit.
That is where Kimmich comes into the picture for Barcelona.
And the Catalan giants are ready to formalise their interest in the 28-year-old.
While it is unclear how Barcelona can match his market value of €80 million, or his price tag, which might be higher, they are ready to include him in the viability plan.
And the Blaugrana will soon approach Bayern Munich to submit an enquiry for Kimmich.
Meanwhile, the German international is open to leaving the Bundesliga club to move to Camp Nou.
In addition, Xavi Hernandez is ready to speak with the 28-year-old, just like he did with Robert Lewandowski last year.
But it will be interesting to see if Bayern Munich will entertain any approaches.
