Hansi Flick is encountering more difficulties than expected in his first market as FC Barcelona's coach. The German coach of Barça has a very clear list of reinforcements and has put a lot of effort into securing the arrival of a player he considers key to his project. However, Real Madrid has interfered in the operation and threatens to leave him without one of his dream signings.
Florentino Pérez has already made a move to get ahead of Barça and secure his signing at zero cost. The president of the Whites sees him as the perfect heir to the German Toni Kroos and has given the green light to an offensive that could be solved in the coming weeks. At Santiago Bernabéu, they trust that their offer will be enough to convince him and hope to announce his arrival before Flick and Joan Laporta can react.
FC Barcelona is already aware of Real Madrid's move and all alarms have been raised. Hansi Flick, who has insisted that his signing is absolutely a priority, presses Laporta to make an effort and prevent him from ending up at the eternal rival. The blaugrana coach is convinced that his addition would further elevate the team's level and doesn't want to miss the opportunity to have him in his squad.
Joshua Kimmich, Closer to Real Madrid
The player in question is none other than Joshua Kimmich, the German midfielder's contract with Bayern Munich ends in 2025. Now his continuity at Allianz Arena is practically ruled out, and several of Europe's top clubs have launched for his signing. Among them, Real Madrid, who seems to have taken the lead in signing the FC Bayern Munich footballer.
Florentino Pérez wants to take advantage of the opportunity to sign him at zero cost and has put a very attractive offer on the table. At Bernabéu, they see him as the ideal replacement for Toni Kroos, who could retire at the end of the season. The possibility of following in his compatriot's footsteps and becoming the new leader of the Whites' midfield is very appealing to Kimmich.
In Germany, Kimmich's Continuity Is Ruled Out
Laporta's priority remains the registration of several players before launching into new signings. Kimmich is a desire of Flick, but the club's economic reality complicates his arrival. Without extraordinary income, Barça can't compete with Madrid in this operation.
Meanwhile, in Germany, it is already assumed that Kimmich will not renew with Bayern and that his destination will be LaLiga. Flick continues to dream of convincing him to choose Barça, but every day that passes, Real Madrid is closer to closing his signing. The pressure from the German coach is total, but the final word belongs to the player.
If Kimmich chooses Bernabéu, it will be a severe blow for Flick. Not only would he lose his star signing, but he would see him succeed at the eternal rival. At Barça, they know that time is against them and that if they do not react quickly, the battle will be lost.
