Bayern continues to put obstacles in the way of Joshua Kimmich's renewal. The midfielder wanted to define his continuity as soon as possible, but the club has decided to delay negotiations until after the Euro Cup. This decision would not have pleased the German at all and would give Barça more time to convince him.

Joshua Kimmich's future remains a real unknown. The player's contract ends in 2025 and his continuity at Bayern Munich remains up in the air. According to the newspaper 'Bild', the Bavarian club's sporting director, Max Eberl, has already held talks with the German to confirm the entity's desire to continue having him in the squad. However, they have delayed the negotiations until after the Euro Cup.

This situation could condition the midfielder's decision for the future. The people of Munich want to remain linked to one of the most important members of the team, and the footballer's priority is to continue playing at the Allianz Arena, where he is comfortable and satisfied with the arrival of Kompany to the bench.

Despite this, Kimmich wants to know the new sporting project of the club led by the Belgian, what role he will play on the field and what the final financial offer is. Joshua is about to sign what would be the last major contract of his career and hopes that the emoluments will exceed what he currently receives. For this reason, the decision to postpone the talks has not pleased the German at all, whose decision will remain in the air for a few weeks. The footballer will continue waiting for the Bavarians, although they have not yet sent him any proposal.

Barça, on the lookout
For its part, FC Barcelona has spoken with the midfielder and is paying attention to the development of events in Munich. The culés presented a first offer to the player but it was rejected, so everything is subject to Bayern's movements. In the event that there is no agreement between club and player, the Bavarians will negotiate his transfer since they do not want him to leave as a free agent in 2025.

At Can Barça they believe that this delay in talks is positive for the club, since the Blaugranas will not be able to carry out large transactions in the market until the salary limit problems are resolved. The culés hope to enter the 1-1 rule at the end of June and from there they will have to make some departures to be able to incorporate new players. Kimmich is a priority for the sports management and for Flick, whose good relationship with the footballer could be the key to landing him in Barcelona.
