Kimmich extension: FC Bayern on the verge of a final breakthrough!

The confusion surrounding Joshua Kimmich's contract at FC Bayern Munich is reaching a spectacular climax. Former DFB professional Didi Hamann expressed concern about the negotiations, which were dragging on for weeks. “I am very irritated by what is going on at FC Bayern,” said Hamann, who questions the record champions’ various tactics and strategies. According to his analysis, the playmaker was given an ultimatum, which Kimmich did not comply with, after which the offer was withdrawn. This constant back and forth raises questions about the credibility of the club's management, Hamann continued. The high salaries paid to players like Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala also stand in stark contrast to the club's previous commitments to lower the salary structure.

Contract extension is imminent

How Ran reports, however, an agreement could be imminent. Kimmich reportedly has a draft contract on the table that he is having a lawyer review, and the differences should be resolved soon. Sports director Max Eberl suggested in his last statements that the ball in the contract negotiations is now in the air and could be concluded soon. He praised Kimmich as an important leader and announced that an official confirmation could come after the crucial Champions League game against Bayer Leverkusen, which takes place on Tuesday evening.

According to reports, Kimmich has already agreed to a contract extension until 2029, including a gross salary of around 20 million euros per year. According to the latest information, everything for the new contract has been negotiated and the official announcement could be made in the coming days after the final signatures are made. A second report explains that negotiations with the 30-year-old midfielder are now "just a formality", which could suddenly end recent speculation surrounding a potential move.
