Bayern Munich legend Uli Hoeneß is not sure what will ultimately happen with Joshua Kimmich, but he expects a frank and open conversation — something that might not happen if there was an agent involved.
“Joshua is a very reasonable man, and you can talk to him sensibly. I don’t see any major problems with the conversation — I don’t know what will come of it. But talking to Joshua is not as difficult as talking to some other agents,” Hoeneß said as captured by Bild journalist Heiko Niedderer (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Kimmich’s situation is just one of a few on the squad that requires clarification. With his contract ending after this season, Bayern Munich needs to start planning its future — with or without Kimmich — very soon as the Germany international occupies a sizable chunk of the team’s salary budget.
