Kimmich to sign new Bayern deal until 2029 as Arsenal, Liverpool, and Barcelona miss out | OneFootball

Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich has agreed on a deal to stay at the club until 2029, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Kimmich was in the final year of his contract, but he has agreed to stay with Die Rekordmeister.

The Bayern board has ratified the contract. He will sign on the dotted line and announce it this week.

The renewal news is a blow to Arsenal, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool and Real Madrid. They were linked with the German international but will be left empty-handed.

Arsenal will feel particularly heartbroken. They reportedly had a concrete interest in his services.

Kimmich would have been a fine addition to an Arsenal side set to lose Thomas Partey this summer.

The former RB Leipzig maestro would give the Gunners a competitive edge, winning experience and immense technical quality.

Kimmich would not look amiss in a Madrid midfield that lacks a controller or at Liverpool under Arne Slot, but he always had his heart set on staying at Bayern.

Bayern may also make one final push to keep Leroy Sane at the club. He becomes a free agent this summer, and it is unclear what either party has in mind.

His tenure at the club has been underwhelming, but there are not many wingers in the market better than him on his day. However, the club might decide to let the inconsistent 29-year-old walk away.

Bayern are also reportedly preparing new deals for Kim-min Jae and Dayot Upamecano after tying left-back Alphonso Davies to a new contract.
