Joshua Kimmich’s 2023/2024 season has not been easy. On bad terms with his former coach Thomas Tuchel, the 29-year-old German midfielder has also been below his standards (2 goals and 10 assists in 43 matches). Finishing the season as a full-back, a position he also played at Euro 2024 with Germany, Joshua Kimmich is also involved in the transfer window. With one year left on his contract with Bayern Munich, he has three options: extend, leave this summer or leave for free next summer.

Vincent Kompany has decided in favor of Joshua Kimmich

Joshua has been an important player for FC Bayern for many years and should continue to be so in the future.” had declared Max Eberl last week. A speech to confirm that the extension of Joshua Kimmich was not impossible.
