Contract negotiations between Bayern Munich and Joshua Kimmich have reached an impasse, primarily due to disagreements on contract length. Kimmich is demanding a four-year deal until 2029, while Bayern favors a three-year extension to save around €20 million. The club typically extends contracts for players over 30 by one year. Kimmich's age, having turned 30 in February, puts pressure on the negotiations, mirroring the treatment of other veterans like Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer. The outcome could hinge on whether Kimmich finds a more favorable offer elsewhere.
Another key sticking point in the negotiations between Bayern and Joshua Kimmich is about the contract duration. The player wants a 4-year deal until 2029, while the club prefers a 3-year deal, saving them around €20m.
Bayern has an 'unwritten law', which states that players who are already over 30 years old generally only have their contracts extended for one season at a time, which affects Kimmich's negotiation prospects.
