La Liga
The future of Joshua Kimmich remains uncertain as Bayern Munich and the player negotiate his renewal, but FC Barcelona has decided to definitively step back from the race for the German international. Although the midfielder was a desirable target in past seasons, the economic conditions have led the Blaugrana club to discard his signing.
Since Xavi Hernandez's departure as coach, Barcelona has reassessed its priorities in the transfer market. Despite Kimmich's name being on the table in previous years, the cost involved in his arrival, both in terms of salary and transfer fees, has proven unfeasible for the current board led by Deco. The midfielder, who represents himself with the support of external collaborators, demands a significantly high salary, which does not align with the club's adopted policy of financial restraint.

Furthermore, the arrival of Hansi Flick as coach has not changed Barcelona's stance. Although the former German national team coach could be a key factor in reigniting negotiations, the focus on emerging talents from La Masia and the need to maintain a strong financial balance outweigh the prospect of adding Kimmich.
Meanwhile, the player continues to explore his options, with interest from clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester City, and PSG, who are better positioned to meet the midfielder's economic demands, as reported by the Sport newspaper. Kimmich, on the other hand, remains inclined towards staying at Bayern, but not without receiving sporting guarantees and a competitive project that will enable him to contend for the Champions League.
