El Nacional claims that Barcelona is prepared to deal Robert Lewandowski for Joshua Kimmich of Bayern Munich during the summer transfer window. Lewandowski spent eight productive seasons with Bayern Munich before joining Barcelona last summer. During his career there, he made 375 appearances, scored 344 goals, and took home 19 major trophies.

It is hardly shocking that the Bavarians are apparently interested in Robert Lewandowski's comeback. This season, they have been without his services and have been unable to fill the forward position with a replacement. While Sadio Mane and Eric Choupo-Moting have performed admirably, they haven't been able to surpass the 30 to 40 goals per season mark that the Poland international used to effortlessly attain.

The 34-year-old had a successful season with the Blaugrana, aiding them in winning the Supercopa de Espana and La Liga championships. In 46 games across all competitions, he scored 33 goals and contributed eight assists, earning him the Pichichi medal as well.

The goal of Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez is to bring in a replacement for leaving CDM Sergio Busquets. He views it as the most crucial component of the team's strategy and is eager to sign Joshua Kimmich to achieve it.

Kimmich has stated his desire to leave Bayern Munich this summer, and Catalunya would make for the perfect next organisation. His alleged fee of €80 million might be too much for the Blaugrana, too. Joshua Kimmich, a standout for Bayern Munich, has downplayed rumours of a possible summer transfer to Barcelona.

One of his generation's most adaptable and successful midfielders is Kimmich, who has made a name for himself in the position. He has played 347 times for the Bavarians throughout eight seasons and can also play right back.

After Germany and Ukraine played to a 3-3 tie in a friendly match, Kimmich was questioned about rumours that he would join the Blaugrana. Via Barca Blaugranes, he responded: “It was difficult not to come across it . Generally, I’m not too invested in the rumors. I still have, as everyone knows, two years left on my contract and we have big plans at Bayern.”
