Bundesliga star Joshua Kimmich linked with Paris Saint-Germain amid Bayern tensions
Joshua Kimmich, the versatile midfielder of Bayern Munich, is at the center of transfer chatter with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly showing interest ahead of next summer. The rumors gained traction after Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur posted updates on social media, suggesting that PSG sees a German international as a key addition for the coming campaign. According to Konur, Bayern could be prepared to part with Kimmich at the close of the current season as part of a wider reshuffle within the squad.
Family of factors appear to have influenced Kimmich’s stance on his future. Insiders indicate that the player has grown unsettled at Bayern, with whispers of friction involving teammates and members of the coaching staff. The conversation around this matter intensified after a public clash with a Bayern assistant coach following a 2-3 defeat to Bochum. Reports describe a tense moment on the touchline that almost led to an on-pitch confrontation. That defeat marked Bayern’s third loss in a row, a stretch that has amplified speculation about the team’s internal dynamics and future direction. (Source: Ekrem Konur on social media)
Throughout this season, Kimmich has featured 25 times across all competitions for Bayern Munich, contributing one goal and six assists. The pattern of game time, coupled with leadership duties on the field, has kept him as a central figure in Bayern’s plans, even as questions about his long-term fit surface in media circles. Analysts highlight that Kimmich remains one of the standout performers in midfield, capable of influencing both defense and attack with precise passing and a strong work rate.
Meanwhile, the broader transfer chatter around Kimmich underscores a continued interest from top clubs in strengthening the spine of their teams with proven European talents. PSG’s reported interest aligns with the club’s ongoing strategy to recruit established players who bring immediate experience to high-stakes competitions. For Bayern, the decision to consider potential departures will hinge on balancing squad depth, wage structures, and the club’s strategic rebuild goals under the current leadership. Direct statements from the parties involved have not been officially released, and as such, the situation remains fluid, with developments likely to unfold during the offseason.

Fans and pundits are watching how this potential transfer would reshape the midfield landscape in both leagues. If Kimmich moves to PSG, he would join a roster that values dynamic, technically adept midfielders who can drive transitions and contribute to both phases of play. For Bayern, any sale would necessitate adjustments in playing style and leadership within the locker room, especially if the club seeks to pursue a new cycle of success without losing its core identity. The coming months are expected to reveal more about Kimmich’s intentions, Bayern’s strategic options, and PSG’s willingness to make a significant investment in a proven international talent.
