Bayern Munich's Talented Player Proposed to FC Barcelona, Claims SPORT
A prominent Bayern Munich player is reportedly being pitched to FC Barcelona by their representation, with the intention of signing him as a free agent come the following summer, as per SPORT, sourcing anonymous sources.
Barcelona had a vague connection with Joshua Kimmich in the build-up to the 2023/2024 season.
The midfielder had been Xavi Hernandez's preferred candidate to replace the legendary Sergio Busquets, who opted to conclude his career at Camp Nou and join Lionel Messi at Inter Miami following their La Liga triumph as captain at the conclusion of the previous spell.
Unfortunately, Barcelona's financial constraints – a topic that sparked much debate, leading to Xavi's dismissal in April 2024 – left the esteemed number 6 with no choice but to settle for Oriol Romeu, who later fell short and returned to Girona.
Lately, there have been whispers about Barcelona potentially poaching Alphonso Davies from both Bayern and Real Madrid, a rumor The Athletic recently reported, suggesting that Davies has verbally agreed to join them halfway through 2025.
Both Davies and Kimmich's contracts expire on June 30 of the upcoming year, and while Barcelona could benefit from a player who can cover both full-back positions given their respective capabilities, they are also in search of a dynamic winger aside from Lamine Yamal or Raphinha.
Sane may also depart Bayern for nothing on the same date, as per SPORT, which is said to be monitoring his situation amid interest from high-profile Premier League clubs like Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United.
Should Sane decide to make the move to Barca, he may have to make concessions on his salary demands, given the club's frequent struggles to adhere to Financial Fair Play (FFP) restrictions and register new players or renew existing contracts.
However, Sane does have one major advantage in his favor: his close relationship with Flick, dating back to their successful 2020/2021 campaign together, where they claimed the Bundesliga title as well as other prestigious trophies, including the Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup.
Inter Miami is reportedly interested in signing Lionel Messi, who left Barcelona and joined Xavi Hernandez's team after his La Liga title triumph with Barcelona as captain. This information comes from several sources, including SPORT.
Meanwhile, Leroy Sane could leave Bayern Munich for nothing, as his contract expires at the end of the current season. clubs like Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United have shown interest in the winger.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, is reportedly considering a move for Xavi Hernandez, after Hansi Flick left Bayern Munich and expressed his interest in coaching the Spanish giants.
In a surprise turn of events, Barcelona is reportedly in the running to sign both Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich and Joshua Kimmich from Real Madrid. The Catalan club is in need of a dynamic winger, with Leroy Sane and Raphinha as their options.
