As we said in MD this past Wednesday, Joshua Kimmich (28 years old) is one of the footballers who appear in the list of possible reinforcements of boat with an eye to next season. The pivot of Bayern Munich he likes a lot in the azulgrana club and especially the coach Xavi Hernandezwho believe the German would be a real luxury signing and give the squad a step up in quality for a variety of reasons.
1
top quality
There is no doubt that Kimmich is one of the best midfielders in the world and his possible inclusion at Barça would provide a very important step up in quality to the squad.
2
Contrasted versatility
Established as a defensive midfielder in recent seasons, Kimmich began his career as a right back and can perform perfectly in that role. He can also play as a more advanced interior without problems.
3
Elite experience
Kimmich has been at Bayern Munich for eight seasons and has been a key player in the German team’s recent success. His record includes 7 Bundesligas, 3 DFB Pokal, 1 Champions League, 1 European Super Cup, 1 Club World Cup and 6 German Super Cups.
4
Piece set specialist
Kimmich is in charge of taking all of Bayern Munich’s free kicks and corners. At Barça there is a pending issue from set pieces and the German can help improve that aspect of the game. This season he has already scored a goal from a free kick against Eintracht.
5
perfect age
At 28, Kimmich is at full maturity and can provide several seasons of football at the highest level. He also has family stability after marrying the mother of his two children last summer.
6
Great tone and compliments each other
Xavi and Kimmich met for the first time in Doha in 2019 and the Barca coach deemed “he would be a perfect player for Barça”. For his part, the German acknowledged that “my role model has always been Xavi”.
7
Locker room hookup
Kimmich maintains a good relationship with Lewandowski after spending time at Bayern and is also a good friend of his compatriot Ter Stegen, a factor that will help him adapt more quickly to Barcelona and the club.
