Want to move to Barcelona? The Bayern Munich star has still not renewed his contract with the club
Barcelona still harbors hopes of signing Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich. The Catalan club has long admired the German player despite his loyalty to the Munich club.
However, things could change soon. Kimmich's contract with Bayern is set to expire next year, and the player has yet to confirm his intentions regarding an extension, reports Diario AS. It is believed that Kimmich himself is uncertain about the feasibility of renewing his contract.
Bayern Munich is actively working to extend the contract, but even sporting director Max Eberl cannot predict what will happen next. If Bayern Munich fails to secure an extension with their star in the near future, Kimmich may start open negotiations with other clubs for a free transfer next summer.
Should the German club be unable to extend Kimmich's contract, they will likely attempt to sell him this summer to recoup some value. It is believed that Bayern Munich will ask for around €50 million for the German, a figure beyond Barcelona's budget and likely to attract other suitors.
