Barcelona’s Potential Lineup Scenarios with Joshua Kimmich Next Summer
Barcelona is setting its sights on Joshua Kimmich for the upcoming summer, and these are the various ways the team could line up with the addition of the German superstar:
Option 1: Classic 4-3-3 Formation
- Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen
- Defense: Cancelo, Araujo, Kounde, Balde
- Midfield: Gavi, Kimmich, Pedri
- Attack: Yamal, Lewandowski, Felix
The midfield trio of Pedri, Gavi, and Joshua Kimmich promises to be an exciting combination, adding a fresh dimension to the team’s play. Barcelona may target Kimmich, Felix, and Cancelo (KFC) in the summer, solidifying their starting lineup with minimal changes.
Option 2: Four Midfielders
- Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen
- Defense: Cancelo, Araujo, Kounde, Balde
- Midfield: Gavi, Kimmich, De Jong, Pedri
- Attack: Felix; Lewandowski
Kimmich’s versatility could see him play a role similar to Oriol Romeu, maintaining close ties with Frenkie de Jong in the midfield. Joshua’s ability to contribute creatively and advance the ball from deeper positions adds another dimension to his game.
Option 3: Three at the Back
- Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen
- Defense: Araujo, Kounde, Inigo
- Wingbacks: Cancelo, Balde
- Midfield: Kimmich, Gundogan
- Attack: Fermin, Lewandowski, Felix
In this scenario, Kimmich may act as one of the two central midfielders, enabling Xavi to field more center-backs while remaining potent on the wings.
