Even at EURO 2024, German midfielder Joshua Kimmich refused to extend his contract with his club Bayern Munich and is likely to move this summer.
A number of well-known and powerful clubs, including Liverpool, Barcelona and Manchester City, have shown interest and could be in contention.
His current contract is coming to an end in June 2025 and he will be available next year on a free transfer with no transfer fee.
However, the former Stuttgart midfielder has fulfilled his contract with Bayern and intends to stay with his current team until that time when it expires, according to BILD.
The player, who has scored 42 goals and provided 104 assists in 390 games for Allianz Arena in total, is believed to be open to challenges in the Premier League and La Liga, but may remain loyal to his club, where he has played since 2015.
He is the type of clever player who has shown quality performances as a right-back for Germany and can balance the whole game as a midfielder for his club. His departure will be closely watched, as he could be an important member of any club’s squad.
What decision will the 29-year-old midfielder make this summer?
