Joshua Kimmich spoke again about his future after playing his first friendly of the summer with Bayern Munich. Although the footballer in the orbit of FC Barcelona claims to feel comfortable in Germany, he does not close the door to listening to offers

Bayern Munich and Joshua Kimmich still have not resolved their future this summer. The 29-year-old player, one of the midfielders that FC Barcelona keeps on its radar, once again opened the door to his possible goodbye to the Munich team, without ruling out a possible offer from Barcelona or from other 'big players' like Real Madrid and the Manchester City, two of the clubs that are also paying attention to the decision that the player and his club make in the coming days.

"You can always speak reasonably. All doors are open to everyone," commented the man from Rottweil after the friendly that Bayern played on Saturday in Seoul against Tottenham (2-1). The '6' started, playing the first half as a midfielder alongside his compatriot Aleksandar Pavlovic. However, the footballer whose contract ends in 2025 also made it clear that, for the moment, he feels happy in the Bavarian team.

"In general I feel very comfortable here. My children were born here, we built a home. Of course last season was not good. It is not what neither I nor Bayern want. Now I am hungry and full of energy," argued Kimmich . The Munich board prioritizes his renewal, but the footballer continues without giving in regarding his financial demands. This factor led Barça to focus on the signings of Nico Williams and Dani Olmo, although the option of incorporating a pivot has gained strength again after the imminent departure of Oriol Romeu.

Bayern also does not close the exit door for Joshua Kimmich

For his part, the new Bavarian coach, Vincent Kompany, did not rule out doing without Joshua this summer, although he continues to consider him an important piece in his scheme. "We have very good players in that position. Kimmich and Pavlovic played today and then Laimer and Palhinha. We have good options," explained the Belgian coach. Although he has one year of contract to fulfill, Bayern does not rule out listening to offers for the '6' in the order of 35-40 million euros, an affordable price considering his current price on Transfermarkt (€50M).
