Kimmich before decision: leaves Bavaria or does he go to PSG?

München, Deutschland - Joshua Kimmich, the 30-year-old captain of the German national team, is currently at the center of heated discussions about his future at Bayern Munich. On March 5, 2025, Kimmich returned after an injury break to play in the Champions League game against Bayer Leverkusen. This was done against the background that Paris Saint-Germain made him a tempting offer. Welt has withdrawn after there had been tough negotiations.

Bayern Munich's sports director Max Eberl publicly supported Kimmich and emphasizes that the player is not greedy. Rather, Kimmich is looking for a perspective. This raises the question of whether he wants to end his career in Munich or accept new challenges. Eberl also explains that Kimmich's decision is necessary soon because the situation becomes increasingly confusing.

clarity about Kimmich's future

rumors about a possible contract extension do not seem to be out of air. According to Nytimes there was a positive basic tone with regard to a continuation of the contract. In principle, Kimmich had already approved a three-year contract, but he missed a deadline for signing. According to reports, the offer of Bavaria was withdrawn due to Kimmich's indecision, which caused resentment among the decision -makers.

The former Bayern player Michael Ballack expressed understanding of the Zwickmühle, in which Kimmich is located, and explained that there are reasons for an extension and a change. However, the retracted offer does not mark the end of the negotiations. Bavaria wants to continue to discuss with Kimmich, even if the time is pushing and a decision is overdue.

financial perspectives and other options

The financial framework also plays a role, since Kimmich currently earns over 350,000 euros per week. A contract extension would mean a significant burden on Bayern finances that are already trying to optimize the salary structure. Kimmich also has options from other leagues. In addition to PSG, Arsenal and Barcelona also expressed interest and offer him the opportunity to redesign his career according to the challenges in the Bundesliga. FussballTransfers emphasizes that Kimmich's search for new challenges and the associated guarantees for his game are decisive factors in decision -making.

The coming weeks will be crucial for Joshua Kimmich and FC Bayern Munich. The fans can be excited to see how the situation will develop. Eberl and other those responsible at Bavaria are faced with the challenge of weighing up both the sporting and financial aspects and at the same time taking Kimmich's personal wishes into account.
