MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich signed a new four-year contract with the club on Thursday after long-running talks.
The Germany captain has been with Bayern since 2015, winning eight Bundesliga titles and the Champions League in 2020.
“His hunger remains strong and that was clear to see again in the Champions League round of 16,” chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen said in a statement. “His determination and commitment embody what FC Bayern stands for. He’s going to build a bridge between our current generation and a new era.”
The extension followed reports last month in Germany that Bayern withdrew an earlier contract offer to Kimmich as talks dragged on.
Kimmich said he chose to extend because Bayern offered him “the best environment to achieve my sporting goals … I feel good here and I am not finished here yet.”
Kimmich, who can also cover the right back role, has one goal and 10 assists in 39 games in all competitions this season.
Kimmich is the latest Bayern player to commit to a new contract after attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala, wing back Alphonso Davies and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer signed new deals last month.
Bayern still has decisions to make, as forwards Leroy Sané and Thomas Müller have contracts which are expiring at the end of the season.
