Barcelona have been linked with a move for Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich.

Xavi has recently said Kimmich will be a good replacement for the departed Sergio Busquets. However, he admitted that the player isn’t a Barca player and chose not to say more.

Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer, has now slammed Barcelona for openly flirting with their player.

“I don’t understand why they [Barca] openly and offensively ‘flirt’ with our player,” Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer told Sky.

“Joshua Kimmich is an absolute cornerstone for us. He’s firmly in our plans for the future, for sure.”
