The German midfielder has been uncertain about committing to a new contract for some time, fueling widespread speculation about his future.

Bayern Munich’s star midfielder Joshua Kimmich has reportedly made a decision regarding his future. With his current contract set to expire in the summer, Kimmich has been the subject of intense speculation, with top clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain vying for his signature.

Kimmich, who has been an integral part of Bayern Munich since joining from RB Leipzig in 2015, has made over 400 appearances for the club and won numerous titles, including eight Bundesliga championships and the UEFA Champions League. His versatility, leadership, and consistent performances have made him one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe.

Despite the interest from several top clubs, Kimmich has decided to extend his stay at Bayern Munich. According to reports The Athletic, the German international is close to signing a new three-year contract that will keep him at the Allianz Arena until 2028. This decision comes after months of negotiations and speculation about his future.

Kimmich’s decision to remain at Bayern Munich is a significant blow to Arsenal and Liverpool, who were both keen on acquiring his services to bolster their midfield options. Arsenal, in particular, had been looking to replace their ageing midfielders, Jorginho and Thomas Partey while Liverpool saw Kimmich as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, should he decide to leave.

The news of Kimmich’s contract extension will undoubtedly be welcomed by Bayern Munich fans, who have seen the midfielder become a cornerstone of their team’s success over the past decade. With Kimmich’s future now settled, Bayern can focus on their quest for more silverware in the coming seasons.
