However, Kimmich doesn’t want to let the constant speculation drive him crazy. “For me the situation is very clear”says the Bayern professional to the ‘Welt’, “I still have over a year left on my contract, so I’m relaxed about it. My first priority now is to make the season as positive as possible, in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League. Then comes the European Championships. These are the things that matter.”

In addition, Kimmich wants to make his decision dependent on Thomas Tuchel’s successor: “As of now it is still unclear who will be our new coach from summer. Of course it’s very interesting and important to know who it will be.”

It cannot be ruled out that Kimmich will clarify his future at Säbener Straße soon after the coaching question. After an initial exploratory discussion with sports director Max Eberl, both sides want to take some time.

According to his own statement, the right-footer has no problem with the change: “Of course the potential requirements of the two positions differ. But both are exciting and interesting. I’m fine with it and play where the coach sees me as most important for the team. “I’m currently trying to interpret it the way I’ve always done it and playfully influence the game with creativity and ideas from there.”
