Contrary to other reports, Vincent Kompany is relying on Joshua Kimmich and is well aware that the latter can play three positions at a top level: as a #6, #8 - and if necessary or if the tactics against a certain opponent require it, also as a right-back.
Kimmich's versatility will be an asset for Kompany, who is planning to rotate more than Thomas Tuchel and Julian Nagelsmann, focusing on building a team culture over individual stars.
Initial informal talks with Kimmich over a contract extension have taken place, but it's unlikely for the 29-year-old to accept a significant pay cut, considering his prime form and consistent starting role under Kompany.
Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and PSG are reportedly interested in Kimmich, but his future at Bayern seems secure under Kompany's guidance.
