Joshua Kimmich's contract is one of Bayern Munich's biggest issues. The midfielder's contract with the club expires in June 2025 and his continuity at the Allianz Arena has yet to be defined, where they insist on extending his commitment and making him the face of the institution in the coming years, as confessed by the Bavarian sports director, Max Eberl.
The Munich team intends to give the captain's armband to the German once Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller retire, so they will offer him an important contract to get his signature. For his part, the player will sit down to negotiate with the entity to see if he is convinced by the proposal.
In this sense, Kimmich himself has acknowledged in statements to the channel 'ZDF' that he will not prolong his decision until the end of the season. "I will not wait until summer to know my future. We will sit down this winter and I will try to see everything in perspective and thus be able to make the ideal decision," revealed the footballer.
The long list of Kimmich's 'girlfriends'
Meanwhile, several teams will wait in the shadows for the German's final decision, with Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Arsenal being some of the members of the 'race' for the 29-year-old midfielder, one of the big 'sweeties' in the market.
FC Barcelona, for its part, also does not lose sight of Kimmich, who is one of Hansi Flick's 'fetish' footballers. However, his signing is no longer a priority for the Catalans, who trust in the progress of Marc Casadó and Marc Bernal to cover the position, although they could try to go for the German if the economic and sporting conditions are in their favour.
