Relations between Joshua Kimmich and his coach Thomas Tuchel are not healthy. Last weekend, the German coach decided to leave the Bavarian midfielder in the 63rd minute during the disaster in Bochum (3-2). A decision that the player in 372 games with Bayern Munich had difficulty digesting. According to Bild, the former Chelsea and PSG coach never really counted on Joshua Kimmich this season. He even offered to sell it last summer.

Thomas Tuchel’s objective was, with the departure of Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, to make room for a new 6. Negotiations having failed with Fulham for Joao Palhinha (28), Bayern kept his two German midfielders. Now, with the departure of Thomas Tuchel, Joshua Kimmich’s contract negotiations will be able to resume. The one who was considered the “captain of the future” only has one year left (2025).
