Joshua Kimmich Reveals Intense Discussion With Wife About Bayern Munich Renewal

Joshua Kimmich recently pledged his future to Bayern Munich and signed a contract extension until 2029 after months of uncertainty. His extension, however, came after several months of standstill between the club and the player. Other top European sides, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, and Liverpool, were linked with Kimmich, with many believing he could be on the move. Kimmich has now revealed that he had intense discussions with his wife, Lina, regarding renewing his deal. Kimmich told ZDF: We actually spoke a lot, but she didn't make it any easier for me because she tried not to have any influence on me. She told me 'you have to make the decision for yourself from a sporting perspective and we'll be with you everywhere. You can count on us' - That was important for me but didn't make the decision any easier. In the end when I extended, she told me: 'You did well, we already feel good here'.Joshua Kimmich Kimmich has so far made 430 appearances for the Bavarians, scoring 43 goals and providing 114 assists
