Joshua Kimmich, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain
10 June 2026
Joshua Kimmich has revealed he came close to leaving Bayern Munich for Paris Saint-Germain during a period of contract uncertainty. He said the money was crazy after being told Bayern were open to a transfer.
Kimmich eventually held fresh talks with Max Eberl and Christoph Freund before signing an extension until 2029. The admission shows how close Bayern came to losing a senior leader before rebuilding trust with their captain.
