Paris Saint-Germain made a very tempting offer to Joshua Kimmich, but the German midfielder preferred to extend his contract with Bayern Munich. Kimmich was approached by the club at the beginning of Luis Enrique's era. He hesitated before signing a new contract with the club he has defended since 2015. The club's support was not what I had expected or wanted, he said. I felt that Bayern was completely willing to let me go. This does not contribute to strengthening the bond between the club and the player. I discussed with Max Eberl. He confirmed it again: if you want to leave, then you are on the market, it's possible. At that time, I did not know what it would take for me to extend my contract. I was 95% sure not to extend. Paris was a club that showed me a strong commitment. A commitment that I did not expect at all. I discussed with the sports director Luis Campos and the coach Luis Enrique. I must say that they did an excellent job and gave me the impression that they really wanted me, so naturally, we started to think about it. It really made me think. I was supposed to be an important piece of the puzzle there, as a slightly more experienced player. And that has a certain effect on you. Paris made me an offer. The financial aspect was incredible. Really. Very, very incredible, I must say. But I did not want it to be the decisive factor. It's not like I'm single and I only have to make decisions for myself and my career. I also have the responsibility of making decisions for my family members and doing what's right. I made the right choice by extending my contract until 2029. I have never felt as confident as today. It was the right decision to extend my contract with Bayern.
