Guardiola poised to break Xavi and Barcelona hearts with potential midfield signing

Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez could be left frustrated in his attempts to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich next summer.

The Blaugrana have been looking for a replacement for Sergio Busquets since he departed for Inter Miami last June.

Despite signing Ilkay Gundogan and Romeu as midfield options, there is still a gaping hole at the base of midfield.

However, according to FUTBOLERO, Manchester City are poised to swoop in for Kimmich as a long-term partner and alternative to Rodri.

The report further states that Kimmich sees his future away from the Bundesliga and eyes a Premier League move, with Guardiola's influence a big factor.
