Xavi Hernandez wants to bring Kimmich to Nou Camp
The former Barca captain has previously been public in his admiration of the defensive midfielder and following the departure of Sergio Busquets, Xavi knows the importance of signing a new pivot in the summer.
Speaking to Mundo Deportivo last week, Xavi said, ” (Martin) Zubimendi and Kimmich are super top players in their position. Kimmich has a long contract at Bayern so the only chance would be to negotiate with them. This depends on the club”.
