Bayern Munich and free agency seem to be playing a tug of war over Joshua Kimmich, whose future still has no clear direction. With a deal that ends in 2025, no updates have come out from both player and club, and Kimmich’s latest presser quotes prove just that (via @iMiaSanMia): “I’m in contact with the club. We all know what my situation was like 8-10 weeks ago. One had the feeling: ‘when will Kimmich finally be gone?’ – Now things are different again. It’s a very important decision in my career. It should be well thought out. Of course, the past plays a role. And the future does as well.”
In terms of Bayern’s—and by extension, Germany’s—performances, the 29-year-old emphasized the importance of winning games — whether or not the manner is aesthetically pleasing.
“It’s always about winning games,” Kimmich pointed out (via @iMiaSanMia). “When you win games, then there’s calm around the club. When you lose, there will be unrest. We want to continue on our path at FC Bayern and also here with the national team. I think there’s a lot of potential, quality and experience in both teams. We have to find the right mix. We just have to continue winning our games. Everything else is secondary.”
