Bayern Munich withdraw contract offer for Kimmich

Negotiations between Bayern Munich and Joshua Kimmich have taken a key turn in contract talks as the club withdrew their latest extension offer, reports SPORTBILD's Christian Falk.

According to reports the 30-year-old midfielder was informed earlier this week that the club's previous proposal was no longer valid, and Bayern executives were growing impatient at the prolonged delay in a response from Kimmich.

Despite initially aiming to reduce Kimmich's salary, estimated at around €20 million per year, the club had offered slightly improved terms following his strong performances this season.

The decision to retract the offer came after Monday's quarterly supervisory board meeting, where Kimmich's contract situation was discussed.

While the door for an extension is not entirely closed as negotiations are still ongoing, it is unclear whether the terms of any future deal will match the withdrawn offer.

Bayern's stance reflects frustration at the player's hesitation, and the club is now looking for a fundamental decision from Kimmich rather than continuing to discuss contract details.
