The situation had been uncertain for some time, with Kimmich’s previous contract set to expire this summer. Bayern had even withdrawn their extension offer at one point due to frustration over his delay in making a decision. However, following a meeting with club officials, the German international has now finalized his commitment to the Bavarian side.

Interest from European Heavyweights

Kimmich’s potential availability on a free transfer attracted significant attention from clubs across Europe. Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Real Madrid all reportedly kept close tabs on his situation, while Paris Saint-Germain even submitted a formal contract offer. The French champions were prepared to offer Kimmich a deal until 2029 with a lucrative financial package.

Despite these enticing offers, Kimmich remained focused on Bayern. The midfielder confirmed earlier this month that he would make his final decision before the upcoming international break, and his priority had always been to continue with the Bundesliga giants.

Bayern’s Commitment to Stability

Bayern Munich has been actively working on securing the futures of their key players. With the recent contract extensions of Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala, the club has demonstrated its intent to retain its core squad for the long term. Kimmich, the team’s third captain, now joins this list, reinforcing Bayern’s midfield for the foreseeable future.

His contract negotiations had faced hurdles, primarily due to reported disagreements over salary. However, Kimmich later clarified that finances were not the issue and that his discussions with Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl, had been transparent. After several rounds of talks, both sides have reached a mutual understanding, ensuring Kimmich’s continued presence at the club.

Official Confirmation and Future Plans

Fabrizio Romano, a renowned football journalist, confirmed that all necessary paperwork has been exchanged between Kimmich and Bayern. The deal, as initially reported by BILD, is set to be signed imminently:

“Joshua Kimmich and Bayern have exchanged all documents for new deal valid until June 2029. Agreement in place and deal set to be signed very soon, as BILD reported. Kimmich never advanced in talks with any other club, only approaches — priority to FC Bayern.”
