Joshua Kimmich has signed a contract extension with Bayern Munich until the end of the 2028/29 season, favoring the club over potential moves to elite teams abroad. His decision was impacted by the offer of captaincy, his respected role within the team, and the institution's resilience following a trophyless season. Kimmich emphasized the significance of having supportive teammates and a coach who trusts him, indicating his commitment to leading the younger players at the club. Despite ups and downs, Bayern's strong recovery in the season motivated his continued loyalty.
"There were many reasons that made me extend my contract. The captain topic? Yes, that probably was also part of the reason, when you see who is and who were captain here."
"But what played a very big role was my role in the team. I see this season that I have a coach who relies on me, a club that supports me and teammates who respect me."
