Aged 29 and under contract with Bayern Munich until 2025, Joshua Kimmich finds himself in a contractual situation favorable to a departure, if the Bavarian club wishes to recover some money. Announced in the sights of Paris Saint-Germain or FC Barcelona, the German midfielder no longer seems so indispensable to Munich. Officially presented to the media this afternoon, the new Bayern coach, Vincent Kompany, did not escape questions on this matter.
“Selling players is not my job. I am here for the team. Every player in the team has a lot of talent. These are players (Kimmich, Goretzka, Gnabry) who have been successful in the past. Now that it is about the future, I do not want to talk about each player individually. That is not my intention. I want to work with the guys. I feel that everyone is hungry. I am not going to go into details about each player, otherwise we would talk all evening. I understand the question (about Kimmich), I really do. But we could name all the names. Harry Kane, Musiala, what I think of Goretzka. We could go on like this all evening. But that is not my intention. I have played at this level and I know that no one has ever told me that I would be an undisputed starter, even if I was captain. These players are used to meeting the highest demands. We need everybody. If you want to talk about names, we are completely off the mark. This is a subject for the media.”he confided at a press conference.
