The contract renewal at Bayern Munich has become a real headache with two of its key figures, Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musiala, whose continuity at the Allianz Arena is uncertain.
With contracts expiring in 2025 and 2026 respectively, both players have not yet reached an agreement to extend their relationship with the club, which has unleashed a wave of speculation about their possible departure.
In that sense, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, attentive to market opportunities, could take advantage of this situation. Kimmich's case has taken on special relevance, since the German midfielder declared this week that he maintains "contact with the club" to evaluate his future, but left the door open to a summer exit.
Joshua Kimmich, the most feasible option for Barça
During a press conference in Frankfurt, the one from Rottweil commented that his decision "must be well thought out" and both the past and the future play a fundamental role, hinting at the possibility of exploring new horizons.
On the other hand, Musiala, 21 years old, considered a 'gem' on the rise and Bayern's next franchise player, keeps his renewal on hold. Although he expressed being "happy in Munich", his evasive stance has alerted Barça, which could attempt a coup in the market if the playmaker decides to change scene.
Madrid is also aware of the situation of both players, although its current priority seems to focus on other objectives. However, Kimmich's departure could represent a golden opportunity to strengthen their midfield, especially in the context of the recent departure of Toni Kroos.
As things stand, Bavaria could live through months of uncertainty in 2025, while in Barcelona and Madrid fans dream of the possibility of seeing Joshua Kimmich or Jamal Musiala on their teams. The sports management of both clubs will be attentive to any movement that brings these Bayern figures closer to LaLiga in 2025.
