<p>Kimmich's future at Bayern Munich has been a subject of much speculation since the summer, as his current deal expires in June 2025. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/joshua-kimmich-praises-vincent-kompany-bayern-munich-contract-negotiations/bltdba8a2d51857b1fe#cse85ddae616f99be1" target="_blank">The player is yet to commit his future to the Bavarian club</a> and has been linked with a move to several other top clubs, including Barcelona. Ahead of their Champions League showdown against the Blaugrana, the German hinted at a possible move to the Catalan club in the future.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>At the pre-match press conference, the 25-year-old was asked if he would consider moving to Barcelona next season, to which he replied: "I'm not thinking about that. But you should never rule anything out in life and also in football. Barcelona and Spain as a national team had a big impact. Xavi Hernandez was my childhood role model, I always watched the games with Pep as a coach and the Tiki-Taka. They were a role model."</p><p>Kimmich also spoke highly of Barca boss Hansi Flick, who he previously played under at Bayern and with the German national team. He added: "Hansi created a good spirit back then. He gave the players and everyone around us a lot of trust. Also at times when there were doubts, including we players in ourselves.</p><p>"We then played spectacular football that we all loved. We created a dynamic, we believed in what sort of football we were playing. That was what that time was about."<a href="https://x.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1848782274537431541/photo/1"><br></a></p>

WHAT JOSHUA KIMMICH SAID

<p>The midfielder, however, confirmed that he is in talks with the Bundesliga giants over a possible contract extension, as he said: "Everyone knows I'm in talks with the club. What I discuss with the club remains internal. I won't talk about it in a press conference"</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After facing Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday, Vincent Kompany's side will next come up against VFL Bochum in the Bundesliga on Sunday.</p>
