Joshua Kimmich is close to signing a new Bayern Munich contract. The 30-year-old had been due to be out of contract at Bayern in the summer of 2025 and was hesitating over an extension, leaving him available to leave the club for free at the end of the season.

Joshua Kimmich’s future remains up in the air, but the Bayern Munich midfielder provided clarity on when it will be decided following his outstanding performance in their Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen.

With Sacha Boey overcoming an illness and Kimmich in midfield, Konrad Laimer will retain his place at right-back alongside Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-jae and Alphonso Davies. In attack, Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala and Kingsley Coman should make up the trio supporting Harry Kane, but it’s possible that Leroy Sané could start ahead of Coman.
