"Vitinha - and Joshua Kimmich. Josh texted me shortly after my transfer was announced, while I was still in Hoffenheim. He had gotten my number. He wrote that when he joined Bayern, he hadn't yet played a single Bundesliga match - and yet he still felt confident enough to make the move. And that he believed in me too. He said he was happy for me and that he believed in me. It was a wonderful, goosebump-inducing moment, to receive so much trust beforehand,"
"The German star midfielder has been mostly relegated to the bench behind other Bayern players, and has not been called up to the national team this season. Despite the lack of playtime, Bischof is surrounded by some great teammates, and even his favorite player. It is great to see Kimmich be a leader for teammates even before they join the club, and surely gave a confidence boost to Bischof."
Tom Bischof moved to Bayern Munich on a free transfer after an excellent 2024/25 season at Hoffenheim where he was one of the club's best players. He has mostly been relegated to the bench behind established Bayern players and has not been called up to the national team this season. Joshua Kimmich reached out to Bischof with a supportive message, recalling that he had joined Bayern before playing a Bundesliga match and expressing belief in Bischof. That message provided a goosebump-inducing boost of confidence. Competition for midfield and attacking minutes remains fierce, but Bischof is expected to earn more minutes and develop into a starter.
