Barcelona ready to pay 80 million euros for Kimmich in January

Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich could leave the Munich club in the January transfer window, Spanisnews outlet Todofichajes reports. Barcelona are interested in the 28-year-old playmaker and the potential transfer fee is 80 million euros.

Kimmich has been playing for Bayern since 2015. In this season, the German made 16 appearances and made 6 assists. His contract runs until the summer of 2025, but he is tempted by the opportunity to play in Spain.

According to multiple sources, the main reason for his interest in a transfer is his ex Bayern teammate Robert Lewandowski, who is convincing him to join him at Camp Nou. If the deal happens, Bayern may strengthen both Barcelona and Real Madrid in the span of six months as left-back Alphonso Davies is wanted by Los Blancos and a deal is very likely as the Canadian refuses to extend his contract with the German champions.
