In a new @ZDF documentary, Joshua Kimmich reveals that he was very close to leaving Bayern and that he seriously considered joining PSG: "The club's support wasn't what I'd hoped for or wanted. I had the feeling that Bayern were very open to letting me go [in summer 2024]. That doesn't help to strengthen the bond between club and player. I spoke with Max Eberl. He confirmed it to me again: 'If you want to leave, then you're for sale, that's possible' - At that point, I didn't know what would have to happen for me to extend my contract. I was 95% sure I wouldn't extend
Paris was a club that showed me a strong commitment. One that I hadn't even really expected. I spoke with the sporting director (Luis Campos) and the coach (Luis Enrique). I have to say they did a really good job and gave me the impression that they really wanted me, so you naturally start looking into it. That really made me think. I was supposed to be an important piece of the puzzle there as a player with a bit more experience. And that definitely has an effect on you. Paris sent me an offer. The financial aspect was incredible. Really. Very, very incredible, I have to say. But I didn't want to make that the deciding factor. It's not like I'm single and can only make decisions for myself and my career. I also have a responsibility to make decisions for my family members and to do the right thing"
In the end, Kimmich says Vincent Kompany's appreciation played a big role in his decision: "I've never felt such a great deal of trust as I do now. It was the right decision to extend my contract at Bayern"
Harry Kane had asked the club to delay the contract talks as long as Bayern were still in the Champions League. Now after the CL exit, the club's bosses want to approach Kane's camp in order to wrap up a new deal before the start of the World Cup. The striker has signalled his openness to stay, but has also said that he's not under pressure - negotiations after the World Cup are also okay for him [@AgardiJulian, @cfbayern]
