High above Munich, behind the town hall, with views of the Frauenkirche, FC Bayern announced today the contract renewal of Joshua Kimmich. There, on the roof terrace of the inner city newly built Bavaria World, CEO Oliver Kahn, sports council Hasan Salihamidzic declared the agreement over the cooperation expanded to 2025 and the associated signal. Of course, there was the mutual - compulsory appreciation.
But the mature and opinion-strong Profi Kimmich had to say much more.
I had no perfect feeling at the last negotiation.

The reasons for his long-term whereabouts are sporty, private, personally, he wanted to spend his hopefully best years in football in the Bavarian state capital - finally there would be such a total package not often in Europe. The club offer already a certain security, that was not always the case with the coach, Kimmich knows. Since his arrival at the FCB, he has trained at Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti, Jupp Heynckes, Niko Kovac and Hansi Flick. Constance on this position looks different. All the more is now it's a sign that Kahn and Salihamidzic from this summer with Julian Nagelsmann have committed a coach for five years. And the new one at the sideline has a big role played for Kimmich's signature.

It is also exciting to the final contract signature until June 30, 2025. Because there is rarely in the football professional business that a player - especially in the top category - is completely dispensed with a consultant, an intermediary or negotiator. Kimmich but does that. He wants to control the action himself. For several reasons, as he explained this Monday. I did not feel a perfect feeling at the last negotiation, said the 26-year-old. At that time, and that happened to other footballers again and again, many details worn outwardly, so Kimmich.
'That's why I was important to me that I sit there yourself.

Rights that the midfielder wanted to be informed about all processes in this process and not that someone makes me any promises, which would never be followed. That's why it was important to me that I sit myself, Kimmich reported confidently. And that I sign with good feeling. This time was one hundred percent the case.
At the same time he wanted to send a signal, the leadership player, his colleague. In the sense of: foregoing the first step. He also said, I hope I was the first of the other contract renewals. Because: It's not just about that that you buy players, but that players also extend. Absolutely correct. Power providers should be kept.
Kimmich about harmony and friends in the team
His buddy and partner in midfield Leon Goretzka is one. He could or should now follow him. Finally, one of the main reasons for Kimmich's renewal was that he had friends in the team that it is a sworn team handle. When I bothered here, remembers, was not so much harmony in the team. But that's important to me, it makes me even more fun when we all move in a strand. And that's given here and very special At this team.
