- Joshua Kimmich has been linked with move away from Bayern Munich
- Kimmich has chosen to represent himself in the transfer window rather than use an agent
- The German midfielder has just one year left on his contract
Joshua Kimmich, a midfielder for Bayern Munich, has responded to transfer rumors that have been circulating this summer that have linked him to Real Madrid and Barcelona. He has described both of these teams as “amazing clubs.”
Ever since he joined Bayern in 2015, the 29-year-old has seen a great deal of success. During his time at the Allianz Arena, he has won a number of trophies, including nine Bundesliga crowns and one Champions League trophy.
In the current season, the playmaker has made 38 appearances across all competitions, demonstrating that he continues to be a solid addition for Thomas Tuchel’s team.
The fact that Kimmich has just one year left on his contract with Bayern Munich, however, suggests that a summer transfer might be on the horizon, since major teams are reportedly interested in signing him. For the purpose of ensuring that all contact is routed directly through him, the player has made the decision to represent himself rather than employing the services of an agent.
During an interview with the Spanish publication Diario AS, Kimmich addressed the rumors about the transfer of Tuchel, and he was questioned if the departure of Tuchel this summer would have an impact on his ambitions. The conversation took place before Bayern’s Champions League semi-final match against Madrid.
The following is what Kimmich had to say about the matter: “This is a really interesting question for me, but it is not the most important thing this moment.” When you sign a contract, you do not specifically sign it with the coach, as far as I am aware. The club will sign it on your behalf.
On the other hand, it is of course essential to be aware of the coach’s thoughts about both you and the football squad. There are other members of the club that are apprehensive about selecting the next coach.
“I would want to have a conversation with Bayern. In addition, I will not go out and speak to the press about it after I have completed that task. It is simply the two matches versus Real Madrid that I am concentrating on. At the time, I am not considering this specific matter. To reiterate what I’ve previously said, I will first talk to Bayern. However, it is a well-known fact that both Barcelona and Madrid are remarkable clubs with remarkable histories.
Kimmich also discussed his intriguing decision to forego the employment of an agent, stating that he believed it to be the most beneficial option for his family.
You have the ability to speak for yourself, which is a benefit; yet, this may also be a drawback. You may find it challenging to speak about yourself at times. The responsibility for your choice is with you,” he went on to say.
Being there at the table, listening attentively to what people in authority have to say, and having the ability to communicate directly with both the club and the coach are the things that I consider to be the most significant. I am able to make a really excellent choice for both myself and my family as a result of this.
