Barcelona, PSG Suffer Transfer Blow From Bayern Munich Veteran

Paris Saint-Germain have been keeping a close eye on Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich in recent months, with reports from Germany indicating a transfer nearly materialized last summer. Now, as the January transfer window nears, fresh updates about the potential move have surfaced.

However, PSG aren’t the only club interested in Kimmich. Barcelona have also shown interest, alongside Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah, as they aim to bolster both their midfield and defense for the 2025 season.

Kimmich’s situation at Bayern has evolved since Vincent Kompany took over as head coach. Once looking likely to depart when his contract expires next summer, the versatile German—equally adept in midfield or at right-back—now faces an uncertain future.

According to a recent report from TBR Football, Bayern Munich are pulling out all the stops to ensure Kimmich doesn’t leave on a free transfer next summer.
