There is a belief held by those at the club that the 29-year-old is looking to run his deal at the Allianz Arena down in order to secure a move to Barcelona next summer.
With Hansi Flick now in charge at Barca, it is understood that the German head coach is pushing for Kimmich, but a move this summer would be too expensive. As well as this, Real Madrid are also considering a move for the German international.
Nevertheless, there is a big factor that could prevent Kimmich from leaving Bayern. Kimmich is still unsure about moving his family to Spain, as they are happy in Bavaria, but if Bayern fail to offer Kimmich a desirable deal, then it is likely that either Barcelona or Real will poach him free of charge.
It is understood that Kimmich’s deal with Der Rekordmeister is set to expire in 2025.
