Paris Saint-Germain have been closely monitoring Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich in recent months, with reports from Germany suggesting a move nearly took place this past summer. As the January transfer window approaches, new developments have emerged regarding the potential move.
The Ligue 1 side aren’t the only club targeting Kimmich, though. Barcelona have also expressed interest, along with Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah, who are looking to strengthen both their midfield and defense ahead of 2025.
Kimmich’s future at Bayern Munich has changed since Vincent Kompany became head coach. The versatile German midfielder, who can also play as a right-back, had seemed poised to leave when his contract expires next summer.
Although Kimmich is still at Bayern, he hasn’t signed a contract extension yet. With the January transfer window nearing, he’ll be able to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with any club.

Last week, Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported that Kimmich is personally overseeing his contract talks with Bayern Munich, with just some background advice and guidance. He views this contract, which could extend beyond 2025, as the most important of his career.
