The management of FC Barcelona is currently focused on securing several new agreements this summer to strengthen the team during the upcoming transfer window. Their strategy includes exploring player exchanges with other European clubs. In recent years, Barcelona has encountered considerable financial challenges, which have limited their ability to make significant signings and have been further compounded by the loss of some of their key players.
As reported by the Spanish newspaper *Sport*, Barcelona officials are contemplating the possibility of including Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong in a potential trade deal with Bayern Munich in order to acquire Joshua Kimmich. Kimmich is a player that Bayern’s coach, Flick, is particularly eager to sign. The report also mentioned that if Bayern rejects this offer, Barcelona would consider selling De Jong to another club as an alternative means of raising funds to purchase Kimmich.
The newspaper highlighted that De Jong is one of Barcelona’s most valuable assets in terms of marketability, and his sale could bring in a substantial amount of money, particularly given Flick’s strong interest in having him depart the team. Kimmich, on the other hand, has garnered attention from a number of European clubs, with Barcelona’s new coach, Hansi Flick, showing a particular interest in securing his services due to Kimmich’s outstanding abilities and versatility on the field.
