After several months of uncertainty, Joshua Kimmich finally extended his contract with Bayern Munich. While his lease was initially expired next June, the German versatile midfielder has repaired for an additional four years, until June 2029.
For Jan-Christian Dreesen, director general of the Roten, this extension represents excellent news, especially since it follows that of Jamal Musiala, another pillar of the Bavarian workforce. Proud to keep Kimmich, the German leader sees in him the future captain of the Rekordmeister.
Kimmich, the driving force
“This was one of the reasons why we wanted to extend his long -term contract. We have always told him that after the retirement of Manuel Neuer, he should become our new captain. He is a leader and a driving force, both for the national team and for us, at the club. He demonstrated it impressively in these two games against Italy, but also against Leverkusen “, recalled Dreesen.
This season, Kimmich has played 40 games in all competitions in Bavarian colors. He cumulates 1 goal and 10 assists.
