Barcelona legend Xavi has reportedly told Bayern Munich defender Joshua Kimmich that he would be a 'perfect player' for Camp Nou, as would Germany's 2014 World Cup winning captain Philipp Lahm have been during his illustrious career.
Xavi, who continues to prolong his career with Al Sadd, visited Bayern during a recent warm weather training camp in Qatar, where he spoke with players and staff and took a particular liking to Kimmich after first being informed of the star several years ago by Pep Guardiola.
In quotes attributed to Xavi by German publication SportBild, the 38-year-old admitted that he had not previously known anything about Kimmich, who joined Bayern from RB Leipzig in 2015, but has made sure to follow his progress ever since Guardiola told him.
