Barcelona have won the La Liga title after a 4-year absence and Xavi is calling for reinforcements to promise the team will continue to compete for trophies next season. The Catalans are waiting to see what decision Lionel Messi will make after leaving PSG, but they are also keeping an eye on the Bundesliga player.
Joshua Kimmich, whom Xavi wants in “Barcelona”.
Sergio Busquets is leaving Barcelona, leaving the Catalans with a difficult spot to fill in midfield.
Barcelona are already on the lookout for a replacement for the Spanish midfielder and Xavi revealed at a press conference that he has targeted the Bayern Munich player.
For the 11th consecutive Bundesliga champion, Bayern are interested in players so that Thomas Tuchel can fulfill all his goals.
However, the coach of the Catalans made it clear that he really wants Joshua Kimmich and emphasized that Barcelona is ready to negotiate with Bayern about his purchase.
“He is a super top player who has a fantastic understanding of the game. If the door is open, there will be negotiations with Bavaria.
The only thing that is clear is that we need a very high level player in this position (without a holding midfielder) otherwise it will be very difficult to beat us in trophies next season.
The club already knows that if I need to call someone or meet face to face, I will do it, because I am not only the coach of Barcelona, but also a supporter of the team.” – said Xavi Hernandez.
