According to the latest report in Bild, Bayern Munich is in steady progress in negotiations with the team’s core Kimmich to extend his contract, but the player has not yet made a final decision.
According to the report, the negotiations between Kimmich and Bayern Munich are progressing smoothly, and the two sides are maintaining positive communication without any disagreement or signs of unhappiness. However, a contract extension has yet to be finalised and Kimmich is still mulling over his future.
Kimmich has also been in contact with other top European clubs since contract extension talks were launched on Jan. 1, as he weighs up whether to stay in Munich and continue playing for Bayern or opt for a new chapter of his career abroad. Kimmich knows that this contract will be the last major one of his career, so he is extra cautious.
Moreover, the fact that his family was so comfortable in Munich that they had even bought a new villa in Grunwald made his decision easier. He wants to see how the team develops under new coach Vincent Kompany before making a final decision. But at the same time, he understands that he cannot keep putting it off, and if he decides not to renew his contract, he will communicate with the club as early as possible so that the team has enough time to plan for the future without him.
