Joshua Kimmich Signs Contract Extension with Bayern Munich Through 2029

The midfielder revealed he considered leaving the club after feeling undervalued during initial negotiations.

Joshua Kimmich has extended his contract with Bayern Munich until June 30, 2029, after lengthy negotiations.
The 30-year-old midfielder admitted he initially felt like a 'sale candidate' as the club discussed reducing salaries last summer.
Kimmich explored offers from other clubs, reportedly including interest from Paris Saint-Germain, though he did not confirm specific details.
The decision to stay was influenced by Bayern's new leadership, including coach Vincent Kompany, who played a key role in earning Kimmich's trust.
Bayern's management allowed Kimmich time to evaluate the team's development, emphasizing understanding and support during the decision-making process.
