What does the future hold for Joshua Kimmich? The German defensive midfielder, wanted by Barcelona and whose contract at Bayern Munich expires in June, could end up making a surprising decision.
Joshua Kimmich smiles again at the start of the season. The Bayern Munich right-back/defensive midfielder is proving to be liked by his new coach, Vincent Kompany, who has made him a fixture in the 2024-2025 squad.
All the more reason to question the future of German. Joshua Kimmich’s contract with Bayern Munich expires in June, and he could stay. According to Bild, the Bavarian has reconsidered his position and the Munich club has offered him a salary increase, in addition to the captain’s armband. According to the German media, Bayern has given priority to renewing Kimmich.
Kimmich had been rumored to be in Barcelona’s sights for several years, and last summer he was on the verge of signing for the Catalan club and reuniting with Hansi Flick at the same time. In the end, the transfer did not materialize, and it was thought that Barcelona would sign him for free the following summer.
In the end, that option seems much less credible at the moment. It remains to be seen if Bayern’s extension offer will be officially accepted by the German, or if Joshua Kimmich’s future will offer us a new soap opera in the coming weeks. One thing is certain: this will be a decisive year in the career of the 2020 Champions League winner.
