Barca keeping an eye on Kimmich, Bayern targeting Rice

Barcelona may have a market opportunity they were not expecting. It is Joshua Kimmich, unhappy at Bayern Munich. The German could force his exit.
'Mundo Deportivo' puts the Bavarian player's name on the table. It also claims that Kimmich is attracted by the possibility of joining Barcelona, but it's not easy.
The player's contract with Bayern expires in June 2025, so he would have to negotiate directly with the club. In addition, the priority for FC Barcelona is Leo Messi's return.
Busquets' departure, at the end of the year after not renewing his contract, opens the door to an addition in midfield. And that would be Kimmich, who has some friends in the 'Cules' dressing room.
However, it is not only Barcelona who are keeping an eye on the German international, but also other big clubs in Europe. The source cited Manchester City as an example.
Bayern Munich want to cover their backs in case Kimmich forces his way out. That is why they have started to look for a midfielder.
'Bild' tipped Declan Rice's name. Despite being on the radar of several Premier League giants, Rice has not yet made the leap and has remained at West Ham.
