Joshua Kimmich, the 30-year-old right-sided midfielder under contract to Bayern Munich until 2025, was rumored to be in the sights of Paris Saint-Germain during the 2024 summer mercato, and it’s back to 2025 as he has yet to extend his contract. In the mixed zone last night after the victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League (3-0), the German international made an announcement.
Kimmich “Other clubs are also playing a role.”
“I intend to make my decision before the international break. The club didn’t want to, which is legitimate. The decision will be made quickly. It will certainly be before the international break at the latest.
Other clubs also play a role in my decision about the future. I won’t say which clubs, but a decision will be made soon.”
We can’t say that PSG really has a say in the matter, and that good news is coming soon. But it’s interesting to see the player take stock and for us to know that his decision is close. The matter is almost settled. And it’s quite possible that Paris will have its say.
Let’s wait and see. While bearing in mind that a contract extension remains a real option, as does a move to a club other than PSG.
