Joshua Kim Mi-hee signed a new contract with Bayern Munich today.
Fabrizio Romano, who is famous for attaching HERE WE GO only when the contract is signed, said at 8 p.m. on the 13th (Korean time) "Kimihi just signed a new contract with Bayern until June 2029. Everything was done on Wednesday. The announcement will be made soon," he said.
Earlier in the day, journalist Florian Flettenberg, who works for Germany's Sky Sports and is very good at news on Germany, also said "As I said earlier this week, Kimihi today signs a new contract with Bayern until 2029. Bayern is planning a great announcement later today."
Kimihi and Bayern renewed their contracts after a tough struggle. Kimihi is a world-class midfielder and fullback who has played for Bayern for 10 years since the 2015-2016 season. Kimmich was initially recruited as the successor to German legend Filim Lam, but he is showing excellent performance as a midfielder in the second half of his career.
Kimihi was a symbolic player for the club itself, but a strange atmosphere has been formed since last season. Former Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel did not seem to trust Kimihi so much. He insisted on the recruitment of a new midfielder. In the process, Kimihi's renewal was pushed to the bottom of the list.
When Vincent Kompany took over after Tuchel's departure, Kimihi's importance was re-emerged. Kimihi plays the most in Bayern this season. Kim Min-jae is in second place. He also showed outstanding capabilities in coordinating the midfield and showed world-class performance.
Naturally, the club tried to catch Kimihi, but there was considerable pain in renewing the contract. When there was an opportunity to recruit Kimihi as a free agent, various transfer rumors emerged. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), which Kimihi has sincerely sought since last summer, has also sent a proposal himself.
Still, Kimihi chose Bayern. An agreement was reached on a big framework for renewing the contract, but Kimihi's hesitation was a little, and there was also a risk that the negotiations would collapse as the leaders of the club disagreed over salary-related issues.
However, as players and clubs quickly reached an agreement again, Kimihi decided to go down the road as Bayern legend by signing a long-term contract until 2029. Bayern are considering Kimihi as their next captain internally.
It's very good news for Kim Min-jae, too. This is because Kim Min-jae and Kim Mi-hee's chemistry is also very good at the stadium. Kim Mi-hi is also well-liked by Korean fans. During last summer's visit to Korea "I felt very good because they created a really good atmosphere in the stadium. Kim Min-jae invited me to the restaurant yesterday, and I enjoyed Korean food there. It was so nice.," he said, leaving an interview.
