5 long-term replacements for Sergio Busquets that Barcelona should look at

#2 Joshua Kimmich, Bayern Munich (Age: 22)

Let’s shift our focus to Germany right now. These folks know how to produce talents on a regular basis – and Joshua Kimmich is one among the many stars in the making. He is one of the players that is being linked to Barcelona to solve their right-back crisis, but it would be laughable to think that he would be restricted to doing just that.

In Bayern’s well-decked midfield, chances have been hard to come by – yet, with 15 starts in the Bundesliga last season, he did an admirable job whenever he got the chance. Kimmich can play in a variety of positions – a trait Barca love – and does very well in each of them.

However, for Barca, he could be used a long-term replacement for the man in question as he has the traits to do so. The German made 2 key passes, 61.3 average passes with an accuracy of 86.9% and 2.3 tackles (all per game) in the league last season – somewhat of a proof that he has what it takes to succeed Busquets.

Kimmich would like to play more games – and that is something he is certain to get at Barcelona. For the Catalans, it will be like killing two birds with one stone.
