Bavaria’s sports director Max Eberl has optimistically commented on Joshua Kimmich after the defeat against Bochum. In the meantime everyone would have the same opinion.
The sports director Max Eberl of FC Bayern Munich commented on the hanging game in the Causa Joshua Kimmich with humor. “The ball is now in the air. And now we both have to record it,” said Eberl in the Sportschau interview After the 2: 3 (2: 1) of the German football record champion in the Bundesliga against VfL Bochum.
Eberl referred to a statement by Kimmich last Wednesday evening. After the round of 16 in the Champions League against Bayer Leverkusen (3-0), the midfield chief had said that the ball was currently at the club in the contract negotiations. On Thursday, the board of directors around Eberl came together with the Supervisory Board to have the extension with the 30 -year -old approved by 2029 – apparently with success.
New status: “We all have the same opinion”
Eberl left no doubt on Saturday that the national soccer player Joshua Kimmich will extend the record champions. The new status is “that we all have the same opinion,” said Eberl in the Allianz Arena after the events of the past few days.
The extension of the cooperation beyond this season is only about the last details. “We really announce something when it is signed. We don’t do a poker either, but there are a few things to clarify,” said Eberl. National team captain Kimmich, one of the top earners in the Munich team, will probably receive a four-year contract.
Eberl confirmed: Kimmich captain of the future
“It is sufficiently described in public who has to agree to everything,” Eberl, for example, remarked with a view to the prominently occupied Bavaria supervisory board, who has to appreciate investments in a larger million framework.
“Jo is a leading player,” said Eberl about Kimmich, playing for Bavaria since 2015: “We do not say for nothing if he then extends the contract with us, he should be captain in the future if Manuel (newer) is no longer on the pitch.”
