Bayern Munich and Joshua Kimmich are reportedly on the verge of finalizing a new contract that will increase his salary to approximately â¬22 million annually, making him the club's third highest earner. The negotiations have shifted dramatically, moving from discussions of pay cuts and potential transfers to securing Kimmich's place in the squad. His consistent performances and pivotal role as a captain underscore his value to Bayern, necessitating this significant concession despite the increased financial commitment required from the club.
Bayern and Joshua Kimmich are close to reaching an agreement over a new deal... Kimmich is set to receive a pay rise, which will see him earn around â¬22m gross per year.
Going from discussing a pay cut to giving a raise that jumps Kimmich to third in the squad is certainly a concession from the club.
But considering that the Germany captain played every single minute available in the season prior to the match against Eintracht Frankfurt, the 30-year-old's importance to the squad is simply undeniable.
Bayern needed to keep him and it looks as if they have done so - just at a higher cost.
