FC Barcelona have reportedly teamed up with Real Madrid to lure Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich, but the Bavarians won’t sell the German international – ‘not even for €100m’:

There has been a lot of noise in the last few hours around Barcelona and their signaled interest in Bayern Munich midfield mainstay Joshua Kimmich. Reports emerged today that the 28-year-old was unhappy in Bavaria and wanted to leave in the summer, with Barcelona interested in securing his services.

Furthermore, it was reported that Bayern Munich were looking into a summer move for Declan Rice, which could potentially pave the way for Kimmich to leave the club in the summer. However, according to a new update from BILD journalist Tobi Altschaffl (via Reshad Rahman), Bayern Munich will not sell Joshua Kimmich even if he is offered €100m for his services.

Bayern are unwilling to let go of their great midfielder and want to keep him at the club. So much so that they are ready to turn down offers of around €100m for the Germany international.
So that could well be the case when it comes to Barca’s pursuit of Kimmich. However, it should be kept in mind that Bayern took a similar stance towards Robert Lewandowski last year but eventually relented and sold him to the Catalans.

That still seems a bit ‘loose’ and given Barca’s already well-endowed midfield, it seems unlikely the Catalans are willing to add another hefty transfer fee and salary at a time when the club are trying to financially bolster maneuvers to bring Lionel Messi back.
According to Sport1’s Kerry Hau, interest in Kimmich from clubs like Madrid and Barca isn’t exactly new and it’s extremely absurd that Bayern are considering selling the Germany international.

Barcelona and Real Madrid’s interest in Joshua Kimmich is nothing new. However, one thing is certain for Bayern bosses: Kimmich is not for sale, there is no price for him. They plan with him as head of midfield and captain after the Neuer/Müller era.
Kimmich looks set for a move to the No.8 position at Bayern Munich, which has been heralded throughout this season as he moves further up the pitch and makes fewer passes from deeper positions
