Congratulations! Both on reaching the Champions League quarterfinals and on the likely return of the Bundesliga title, as well as on strategic business moves. Once again, Bayern has proven to be an institution by convincing Joshua Kimmich to stay in Munich.In the same week in which they celebrated a double victory over Leverkusen and secured a spot among the top eight teams in Europe’s elite competition, the Bavarian giant delighted its fans with the news that the 30-year-old versatile player had signed a new contract. His previous deal was set to expire this summer, but the new contract, signed on Thursday, extends until June 2029.𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐛. 🔴⚪✍️ Joshua Kimmich has extended his contract until 2029.🔗 https://t.co/Z0AFemkeEO#FCBayern #MiaSanMia #Kimmich2029 pic.twitter.com/o8XLXGNlFZ— FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) March 13, 2025 With this move, Allianz Arena has confirmed its commitment to building a team for the coming years, during which a trophy haul is expected. In February alone, Bayern extended the contracts of Manuel Neuer, Alphonso Davies, and Jamal Musiala. By doing so, they have prevented any possibility of key players leaving.Although Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and even Inter secretly hoped to take advantage of delays in negotiations with Kimmich, it is now clear that they will not get him.”Bayern offers me the best conditions to achieve my sporting goals. Based on that, I made my decision. Right now, there is no better squad, coaching staff, or club management than what we have here. I feel comfortable, but my mission is not yet complete,” Kimmich stated.🚨🔴 Now official: FC Bayern have extended Joshua #Kimmich’s contract until 2029.„At FC Bayern, I have the best environment to achieve my sporting goals.
