Bayern Munich Faces Contract Uncertainty with Joshua Kimmich
Former CEO Oliver Kahn advises Bayern to set a deadline as talks with the national team captain stall over future squad ambitions.
- Joshua Kimmich's contract with Bayern Munich is set to expire this summer, with negotiations for an extension currently at a standstill.
- Oliver Kahn has suggested Bayern impose a firm deadline for Kimmich to make a decision, warning that no player is irreplaceable, including Kimmich.
- Kimmich is reportedly waiting to see if Bayern can secure long-term commitments from key players like Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies before deciding his own future.
- The midfielder's priority is Bayern's ability to build a Champions League-winning squad, a factor he considers pivotal to his decision.
- If Kimmich leaves after his contract expires, Bayern would not receive a transfer fee, and replacing him with a player of similar quality could be significantly costlier.
