Bayern Munich Midfielder Faces Crucial Contract Decision

Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich has received an official contract offer from Paris Saint-Germain, as reported by Sky Germany. The 30-year-old midfielder, whose contract expires on June 30, has been linked with top European clubs including Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Real Madrid.

Bayern have expressed their desire to keep Kimmich, but contract talks have stalled, leading to speculation about his future. Despite PSG’s lucrative offer, Kimmich remains open to staying in Bavaria, with German outlet BILD claiming he is still keen to continue working with the club.

PSG Push for Kimmich with a Long-Term Deal

PSG have submitted a “top contract” until 2029, making them the first non-German club to make a formal approach for Kimmich. However, he has yet to respond.

Meanwhile, Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl continues pushing for a renewal, stating:

“As has often been said and confirmed, the discussions were and are respectful and appreciative. However, everyone feels that a decision should be made soon.”

Despite Eberl’s efforts, internal conflicts within Bayern’s board have emerged. Club president Herbert Hainer and other high-ranking officials were behind the decision to withdraw Bayern’s latest contract offer, creating further uncertainty around Kimmich’s future.

March 17 Deadline Set for a Decision

Reports indicate that Bayern have set a March 17 deadline to finalize Kimmich’s future. With multiple elite clubs monitoring the situation, the transfer saga is far from over.

Arsenal’s Interest Remains Lukewarm

While Arsenal have been linked, sources claim their pursuit is “not hot at the moment.” On the other hand, Real Madrid, Liverpool, and both Manchester clubs remain interested, increasing the stakes in this high-profile transfer battle.
