Barcelona are closely monitoring PSG and Ligue 1 targets as they assess potential attacking reinforcements for the future. The club is also keeping an eye on Bayern Munich amid a standoff with a key player, as they plan for life beyond Robert Lewandowski. With key decisions looming, Barcelona aims to strengthen their squad by securing top-level talent to meet their high standards.
Barcelona, PSG Target Stands Firm on Bayern Demand
Paris Saint-Germain have expressed significant interest in Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich in recent months, with German reports indicating that a transfer nearly took place last summer. However, new developments have emerged as the January transfer window approaches.
PSG isn’t the only club eyeing the seasoned midfielder. Barcelona have also shown interest, alongside Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah, as part of their strategy to bolster both their midfield and defense for 2025.
Kimmich’s position at Bayern Munich changed when Vincent Kompany became head coach. The versatile German, capable of playing right-back, had seemed set to depart when his contract ends next summer.
Although Kimmich remains at Bayern Munich, he has not yet agreed to a contract extension. With the January transfer window nearing, He can talk to any club about a pre-contract agreement.
What’s the Latest Update on Joshua Kimmich’s Future?
Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported on Tuesday that Joshua Kimmich is taking charge of his contract negotiations with Bayern Munich, seeking only occasional advice and guidance in the process.
Kimmich views this contract, which would run past 2025, as the most significant of his career. Bayern Munich plans to shape the future of their team around him and Jamal Musiala. Given his excellent performances, it appears unlikely that Kimmich will accept a pay cut.
The 29-year-old recently discussed his future at Bayern Munich, with only a few months left on his present agreement, which runs out in June 2025.
“We all know what my situation was like eight to 10 weeks ago,” Kimmich said. “One had the feeling: ‘When will Kimmich finally be gone?’ Now, things are different again. It’s a very important decision in my career. It should be well thought out. Of course, the past plays a role. And the future does as well.”
Barcelona Eye Ligue 1 Talent for Attacking Reinforcements

Barcelona Are in a Dilemma
The Catalan giants have been assessing his performances in Ligue 1 and the Champions League to see if he can live up to the club’s high standards.

For the time being, he is being closely monitored as the club evaluates whether his skills, tactical awareness, and consistency meet Barcelona’s high standards.
Barcelona’s approach highlights their focus on securing a reliable, elite striker who can lead the team in the future. David’s ambitions and performances are sure to keep him on their radar as they get closer to making a decision.
