Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich left a bombshell about the future.
European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reported Kimihi's interview on his personal SNS on the 6th (Korea time). Kimihi was interviewed after winning the first leg of the round of 16 of the European Champions League in 2024-2025 against Bayer 04 Leverkusen at Fusbal Arena Munich in Munich, Germany, on the 6th.

It was a game-winning situation, but attention was focused on Kimihi's transfer. Kimihi, who moved to Bayern in 2015, has been reborn as Europe's top midfielder since joining the team, showing excellent skills. Set up as a defensive midfielder in Bayern, he showed outstanding performance by showing the capabilities needed for the position without regret, including position selection, wide activity, active pressure, and ball distribution ability. It was Kimihi who played in Bayern's midfield this season as well.
However, the possibility of a transfer was mentioned as the contract with Bayern was approaching its expiration. Even though the end of the contract, which expires in the summer of 2025, is imminent, an agreement with Bayern has not been reached. Earlier, the possibility of leaving Bayern has been discussed steadily since last summer.
Kimihi agonized between staying and transferring. The same was true of Bayern. After handing Kimihi an offer to renew his contract, Kimihi appeared to take a step back, withdrawing his recent offer. In this situation, Kimihi revealed the current situation in person through an interview, and more attention was paid to his future.

According to Romano, Kimihi said in an interview that "other clubs also influence my future decisions. I can't say which club it is, but a decision will be made soon," he said without hiding the possibility of a transfer.
Germany's Bild said 'For now, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has made a concrete proposal to Kimmich. A move to Arsenal is not a hot issue. It will be a fight between Bayern and PSG in the current situation. Kimmich also answered clearly whether other clubs influence the decision' he said. Leading German journalist Florian Flettenberg also admitted 'PSG has officially made a transfer offer to Kimihi' Bayern has not yet completely let go of the contract renewal negotiations, so it is expected that Kimihi will make a decision on PSG and Bayern's proposal.

Meanwhile, Kimihi made a counter-proposal in consideration of Real Madrid and Liverpool first as destinations to leave Bayern, but both clubs reportedly refused to negotiate.
