Joshua Kimmich has signed a contract extension with Bayern Munich that will keep him at the club until 2029. This announcement comes amid speculation of interest from other top European clubs. Kimmich expressed his satisfaction with the team environment, stating it helps him pursue his sporting goals. Bayern's club president praised Kimmich for his responsibility both on and off the pitch. As Bayern leads the Bundesliga and advances in the Champions League, Kimmich's role will continue to be crucial for the team's success.
"At FC Bayern, I have the best environment to achieve my sporting goals," Germany international Kimmich said in a club statement.
"That is what my decision was based on. For me at the moment, there is no better package of teammates, coaching staff and club environment in order to achieve maximum success. I feel at home here and I am not finished yet."
"Bayern need players who not only bear the shirt but also responsibility -- on and off the pitch. And Joshua Kimmich is one of those players," club president Herbert Hainer said.
The versatile 30-year-old, who joined Bayern a decade ago and is equally at ease at full-back as he is in a holding midfield role, has won eight Bundesliga titles, the Champions League and the Club World Cup title among other trophies.
