Joshua Kimmich signed his latest contract with Bayern Munich on 23rd August 2021. This was a four-year contract which will keep Kimmich at Bayern Munich till June 2025 and makes him the third-highest paid player in Bayern Munich’s squad. Kimmich’s salary is approximately €19.5 Million per annum, which whittles down to a salary of around €375,000 per week. While the German star is a very important player, and his salary at the club reflects that, his contract is soon coming to an end, which means Kimmich will be allowed to leave as a free agent. This has attracted interest from various top clubs around the world.
While various clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool have shown interest in Kimmich, the most concrete interest has been displayed by French club Paris Saint-Germain. PSG want to sign the German star to bolster their defence and will be incredibly happy if they can snag a player of such calibre for free. They have already sent an offer to Kimmich. While this offer is on the table, Kimmich has not decided whether to accept or reject this offer. He is still considering all his options before making a decision regarding his future. While he only has an offer from PSG as of now, he will likely have many more offers as the transfer window draws near.
