Brutal blow from Bayern president to Barca over Joshua Kimmich

The president of Bayern Munich has taken advantage of an interview on 'Sky Germany' to take a swipe at Barça and, above all, their coach Xavi Hernandez for talking about Kimmich. The head of the German club was clear in assuring that there has been no 'Kimmich case', and nor will there be. "I don't understand why they flirt openly and offensively with the player. Kimmich is an absolute cornerstone for us and it is unthinkable that he can leave," said Hainer.

Hainer added that "Kimmich is firmly committed to our present and future plans with absolute certainty". Bayern wanted to make it clear that the player is absolutely non-transferable. The German club have assured that no one from Barça has contacted them or the player and they do not understand why he is being linked with the Blaugrana. Kimmich is priceless for Bayern because he is not being negotiated for.

In fact, the player himself responded to reports linking him with Barça to make it clear that he has two years left at Bayern and that he intends to serve them. He could even extend his contract as he revealed that "we have big plans for the future". In the footballer's entourage, they don't understand the information related to Barça either, although they are grateful that Xavi might like the player. He will not come to Catalonia.
