The summer transfer window seems the most difficult for FC Barcelona as they won't be guaranteed to bring in new players due to the economic issues they currently have. Barcelona is working on keeping players rather than bringing in new players, as Joao Felix, Joao Cancelo, and other player's futures are uncertain. The Catalan club has shown interest in many players this summer despite their financial issues, but the club is confident it can gain funds from player sales, which are seen as the future of the club. One of the players Barcelona is interested in is players whose contracts are almost up or who will become free agents this summer. Barcelona is interested in one of the best midfielders in the world, but the price tag could push them away.

FC Barcelona is interested in German midfielder Joshua Kimmich, who is also gaining interest from Premier League clubs like Liverpool and Manchester City. Sport reports that Bayern Munich is willing to sell Kimmich for $64 million this summer. Barcelona has reportedly told the player that it would be impossible for them to afford that price tag. Kimmich's contract expires in 2025 with Bayern Munich, but the player has reportedly been open to leave soon.

Barcelona could plan to sign Kimmich in 2025 as a free agent, and the player is aware that if he wants to join Barcelona, he will have to wait until next year. Kimmich spoke with Welt about his future with Bayern Munich, and he said, "I still have over a year left on my contract, so I'm relaxed about it. It’s very interesting and important to know who will be the new coach. My first priority now is to make the season as positive as possible."
