    Key Takeaways:

  • Joshua Kimmich and Bayern Munich have agreed on a new four-year contract until the summer of 2029
  • PSG, Liverpool, and Arsenal showed strong interest as talks between Kimmich and Bayern stalled
  • The deal follows Alphonso Davies’ contract renewal, marking another boost for Bayern’s squad stability

Joshua Kimmich and Bayern Munich have reached an agreement on a new contract, according to reports from Bild and Sky Germany. The deal has been finalised after a meeting on Thursday and will keep the player at the club until the summer of 2029. The agreement is expected to be officially announced either today or over the weekend. Kimmich’s current contract expires on 30 June.

For a long period, the 30-year-old was unable to find common ground with Bayern’s management over an extension, which led to serious interest from Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, and Arsenal. On Wednesday, the German international admitted that the attention from other clubs was a factor in his considerations, with reports even mentioning a concrete offer from PSG.

However, Thursday’s meeting smoothed out the differences between Kimmich and the club, securing his future in Munich. This follows a similar contract extension by Alphonso Davies, providing another positive development for Bayern fans. Kimmich is currently in his tenth season at the club, having arrived from Stuttgart in a €8.5 million transfer.
