Bayern Munich and star midfielder Joshua Kimmich have reportedly reached an agreement on a new deal that would keep the German international at the Allianz Arena through the 2028/29 season. Although an official announcement is still pending, it appears that the negotiations are nearing a successful conclusion.
Board member for sport Max Eberl hinted at the progress made in the talks, joking that “the ball is now in the air” and that both parties needed to catch it. Kimmich, who played a key role in Bayern’s 5-0 aggregate triumph over Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League Round of 16, echoed Eberl’s sentiments. Speaking after the match, Kimmich expressed his optimism that a deal would be finalized soon.
“There will be a decision in the next few days. Now we want to get the ball over the line together,” Kimmich said.
The midfielder’s comments suggest that the negotiations are in the final stages, and an official announcement may be imminent. Kimmich’s new deal would be a significant boost for Bayern Munich, who have been keen to retain the services of their key players. The German international has been an integral part of the team’s success in recent years, and his commitment to the club would be a major coup for the Bavarian giants.
