Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthaus isn't surprised Barcelona are eyeing Joshua Kimmich.

He told Abendzeitung: "Bayern have a great team, a great style of play and a great atmosphere, but maybe Kimmich wants to try something different.
"We know that at Barcelona there is a coach, Hansi Flick, who thinks very highly of him.
"I think it would be a shame if he left Bayern. He is an exemplary professional and, together with Jamal Musiala, he will be the face of the club in the future. It would be a great loss if, after David Alaba , another top player were to leave with the freedom to play. His situation has changed with Vincent Kompany. We must put the past behind us."
