Kimmich agrees to extend his contract with Bayern Munich until 2029
Joshua Kimmich has signed a four-year contract extension with Bayern Munich, ensuring his stay until 2029. The Germany captain expressed his satisfaction with the club environment, stating, “At FC Bayern, I have the best environment to achieve my sporting goals… I feel at home here and I am not finished yet”. This move ends speculation about his future and aligns with recent contract extensions by teammates like Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies. Kimmich has won numerous titles with Bayern, including eight Bundesliga titles and the Champions League.
The Germany skipper, whose existing deal was due to expire at the end of the season, has put pen to paper on fresh terms at the Allianz Arena, where he will remain until June 2029.

Kimmich has won eight Bundesliga titles with Bayern since joining from RB Leipzig in 2015, along with the Champions League and Club World Cup.
The midfielder has made 429 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring 43 goals and registering 114 assists.
Kimmich is the latest player to commit his future to Bayern, with Manuel Neuer, Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies also renewing their contracts last month.
“At Bayern, I have the best environment to achieve my sporting goals,” the 30-year-old told the club’s official website. “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.”
“We are delighted that Joshua Kimmich will continue his journey at FC Bayern,” club CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen added. “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 [win over Bayer Leverkusen].
“His determination and his commitment embody what FC Bayern stand for. He should be the bridge between our current generation and a new era.”
Joshua Kimmich: “FC Bayern offers me the most favorable environment to accomplish my sporting objectives. This consideration formed the basis of my decision. At this point in time, I do not perceive a more outstanding package of teammates, coaching staff, and club environment that would facilitate my attainment of maximum success. I am content here, and I have yet to realize my full potential.”
Max Eberl: “Mentalism and identity – that’s what Joshua Kimmich stands for. He has internalized the FC Bayern DNA for years and embodies it both on and off the pitch. Where others stop, he’s just getting started. We’re delighted that he’ll continue to lead our team.”
Jan-Christian Dreesen: “We are delighted that Joshua Kimmich is continuing his career at FC Bayern. He’s someone who always leads the way, whether at the club or as national team captain. His hunger is undiminished, as was evident again in the Champions League round of 16. His determination and commitment embody what FC Bayern stands for. He should be the one to build a bridge between our current generation and a new era.”
Christoph Freund: “Everyone can see how passionate Joshua Kimmich is about the game and his club, every minute of the game. He leads the way as a leader, pushes forward, and provides impetus – he’s a driving force that will tirelessly drive FC Bayern forward in the future”
