Joshua Kimmich Signals Imminent Contract Extension with Bayern Munich
The midfielder confirms a decision on his future will be made in the coming days, with reports suggesting a new four-year deal is close.
- Joshua Kimmich, 30, has indicated that he is on the verge of signing a contract extension with Bayern Munich, where he has played since 2015.
- Kimmich stated after Bayern's 2-0 Champions League victory over Bayer Leverkusen that a decision will be made within days, hinting strongly at staying with the club.
- Reports suggest the agreement will be a four-year extension, keeping Kimmich at Bayern until 2029, with only the final signature remaining to formalize the deal.
- Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl emphasized the near completion of the negotiations, using a metaphor about 'taking the ball volley' to describe the situation.
- This extension would make Kimmich the fourth key Bayern player to renew his contract recently, following Manuel Neuer, Jamal Musiala, and Alphonso Davies.
