Josh Kimmich doesn't rule out Barcelona move
Bayern Munich defender open to switch to Camp Nou
Kimmich has been linked with a move to Barcelona for several months
Bayern Munich defender Josh Kimmich has not ruled out a move to Barcelona in the future.
The Germany international has been linked with a switch to the Camp Nou for several months, and he has now admitted that he is open to the possibility of playing in Spain one day.
"I'm very happy at Bayern Munich, but I'm also ambitious," Kimmich told Sport Bild.
"If there is ever a chance to play for Barcelona, I would definitely consider it."
Kimmich is one of the most highly-rated young defenders in the world, and he has been a key player for Bayern Munich in recent years.
He has won three Bundesliga titles, two DFB-Pokals, and the Champions League with the German giants.
Kimmich is also a regular for the German national team, and he played a key role in their victory at the 2014 World Cup.
If Kimmich were to move to Barcelona, he would likely replace Gerard Pique in the starting lineup.
Pique is 35 years old and has been linked with a move away from Barcelona for several months.
Kimmich is a more natural fit for Barcelona's style of play than Pique, and he would likely be a significant upgrade for the Catalan giants.
However, it remains to be seen whether Barcelona will be able to afford Kimmich's transfer fee.
Bayern Munich are reportedly demanding a fee of €100 million for the defender, and Barcelona are currently in a difficult financial situation.
If Barcelona are unable to sign Kimmich, they may turn their attention to other targets, such as Matthijs de Ligt or Milan Skriniar.
