Barcelona Withdraw from Josua Kimmich Pursuit Amid PSG Talks
Barcelona’s quest for a formidable defensive midfielder, intensified after the departure of Sergio Busquets last summer, faced financial constraints that thwarted their initial target, Josua Kimmich. The club eventually secured the services of Oriol Romeu, but his performances fell short of expectations.
While Kimmich remained on Barcelona’s radar, recent developments indicate a shift in the club’s stance. According to reports from Diario Sport, Barcelona is stepping back from the pursuit of the Bayern Munich midfielder.
The formidable €75 million price tag is not the sole impediment, as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is reportedly engaged in discussions for a potential move for the 28-year-old German international.
The decision to withdraw from the Kimmich pursuit raises questions about Barcelona’s alternatives in the quest for a defensive midfield maestro. As the transfer landscape unfolds, fans eagerly await updates on the club’s strategic moves to strengthen the squad in 2024.
