Bayern Munich Chief Breaks Silence on Liverpool, Man City’s €20M-Per-Year Target’s Future Amid PSG Links

Paris Saint-Germain have been keeping an eye on Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich for months and came close to signing him last summer.

Barcelona are also reportedly interested in Kimmich, along with Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah, as they look to strengthen their midfield and defense for the 2025 season.

According to journalists Christian Falk and Tobi Altschäffl, Bayern Munich have given up on convincing Kimmich to take a pay cut from his current €20 million annual salary.

With his contract expiring next year and interest from top clubs growing, a reduced deal now seems increasingly unlikely.

Amid the transfer rumors, Bayern Munich director Max Eberl commented on whether the German giants are making any progress in securing the veteran to a new contract.

“New deal? Of course we know that we can’t wait forever, but we want to give Joshua a bit of time and let his thoughts mature that Bayern Munich is the club where he wants to continue,” Eberl said. “That’s legitimate.”
