According to Sky Germany expert Florian Plettenberg and French media outlet Ouest-France, Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has instructed the club to intervene in the contract extension negotiations of Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich.
Recently, PSG has been frequently involved in contract extension talks with other clubs, using high salaries or signing bonuses to attract players for free transfers, such as last summer when they signed Milan Skriniar from Inter Milan and Spanish star Marco Asensio on free transfers. Now, PSG has set their sights on Bayern’s German star Kimmich.
Plettenberg of Sky Germany revealed that PSG’s interest in Kimmich is very concrete, and Bayern has been informed of this. PSG president Al-Khelaifi and coach Luis Enrique are both keen on signing Kimmich, whether it be through a transfer this summer or a free transfer in 2025. This will be a headache for Bayern, as the German giants are planning to hold contract extension talks with Kimmich in the coming days, and PSG’s intervention will complicate matters. German media reports that Bayern is also prepared to let Kimmich leave if the offer is right.
French media reports indicate that PSG highly values Kimmich, believing that his experience of winning the Champions League twice can benefit the team, especially considering that they lost the 2020 Champions League final. PSG believes that Kimmich’s arrival could strengthen their right flank or midfield. Al-Khelaifi thinks it would be great to sign the German player this summer, but if not, PSG is also willing to convince Kimmich not to renew his contract and join them on a free transfer next summer.
Bayern has set a price tag of €50 million for Kimmich. However, PSG’s usual practice in recent years has been to entice players with high salaries and signing bonuses.
