Barca lack the financial power this summer to close a deal for the midfielder, who has a year to run on his current deal.
New Barca coach Hansi Flick has previously coached Kimmich at both Bayern Munich and with the German national team.
The 29-year-old has also been linked with Real Madrid and Manchester City in recent weeks.
