After months of negotiations, Bayern Munich have confirmed a contract extension for Joshua Kimmich.
The Germany captain's deal, which was due to expire in the summer, has been extended until 2029.
“We are delighted that Joshua Kimmich will continue his journey at FC Bayern,” said FC Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen.
“He is someone who always leads from the front, be it at the club or as Germany captain. His hunger is unbroken, as we saw again in the Champions League round of 16. His determination and his commitment embody what FC Bayern stand for. He should be the bridge between our current generation and a new era.”
Kimmich, who has played for Bayern since 2015, commented:
"At FC Bayern I have the best environment to achieve my sporting goals. That is what my decision was based on. For me at the moment, there is no better package of team-mates, coaching staff and club environment in order to achieve maximum success. I feel at home here and I am not finished yet."
