Club Seeks to Secure Future of Kimmich, Sane, and Davies by Winter

After a turbulent summer transfer window, Bayern Munich’s management is under pressure to address contract renewals for several key players as the season progresses. According to reports from Kicker (via iMiaSanMia), the Bavarian giants are prioritizing the futures of Leroy Sane, Joshua Kimmich, and Alphonso Davies, with all three having less than 12 months left on their current deals.

Joshua Kimmich, whose future has been a topic of intense speculation for the past year, has indicated a willingness to sign a new contract.

Despite Bayern considering offers for the midfielder during the summer, both parties are now open to negotiations. While Kimmich is already one of Bayern’s top earners, mutual interest in reaching an agreement bodes well for his future in Munich.

Leroy Sane is also inclined to stay with the club, with Bayern expected to meet with his representatives after positive initial discussions in April. However, financial terms still need to be agreed upon before any deal is finalized.

The situation surrounding Alphonso Davies is more complicated. Bayern did not offer him improved contract terms over the summer, and Real Madrid is reportedly confident they can sign the Canadian international on a free transfer next year. It would take a significant shift for Davies to remain at Bayern beyond this season.

Meanwhile, Bayern veterans Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller, who both have less than 12 months left on their contracts, will take their time before deciding on their futures. Having retired from international football, both players remain focused on club duties. While Bayern is happy with their performances, talks over contract extensions are expected later in the season.

Finally, Bayern is looking to secure the long-term future of star midfielder Jamal Musiala. Although his current contract runs until 2026, the club aims to fend off interest from top European clubs by offering him an extended deal. Bayern is set to begin negotiations with Musiala’s representatives soon.

With numerous key contract discussions on the horizon, Bayern’s new sporting directors, Max Eberl and Christoph Freund, will be under close scrutiny as they navigate these complex negotiations.
