Joshua Kimmich, the 30-year-old right-sided midfielder who was under contract until 2025 with Bayern Munich, was rumored to be in the sights of Paris Saint-Germain during the 2024 summer mercato, and this had come back for 2025 in recent weeks when he still hadn’t extended his contract. However, on Thursday, the German club announced that the international had signed a new lease until 2029.
So it’s all over, the hope of Kimmich’s arrival at PSG is extinguished. It’s a bit of a disappointment, since there may have been a slight glimmer of hope at times, notably last summer. But this is no surprise.
We’ve already seen enough cases like this come to an end. Rumours involving the Parisian club for an extension, a classic in negotiations. Maybe Paris really did take a chance on this great player, but it’s not even certain. In any case, it’s time to focus on other things.
