Kimmich spoke about the difficult period at Bayern: The trust between me and the club has been destroyed. Will he leave the Bavarian club?

Joshua Kimmich has been the subject of various speculations regarding his future recently. He is one of the best players on the planet and the leader of Bayern Munich, so it is no wonder that there is interest in him. Now the player has spoken about the critical period in Bavaria and admitted a big interesting fact.

For nine long years, Joshua Kimmich has been a key player for Bayern Munich. In that time he has developed into a leader and a club legend. He has also been a key player for the German national team for a long time. However, there is more and more talk that he might be committed to a change.

He is 29 years old and if he wants to make a big move, now is the ideal time to do so. In recent years he has been linked with a move away from the Bavarian big club and it is no different now. Barcelona have long been rumoured to be interested, and the latter were supposed to enquire about his availability earlier this year.

After all, it makes perfect sense. The Catalans are now led by Hansi Flick, under whose guidance Kimmich had a memorable season at Bayern, during which he enjoyed a treble. So he would be going for an interesting challenge, but he would also have a security there in the person of not only Flick, but also former teammate Robert Lewandowski.

But the big problem could be the transfer fee. Moreover, it is not certain whether the player himself is really interested in the transfer. Besides, Kimmich still has a contract in Munich. But only until the summer of 2025.

In addition, the media has begun to discuss his words from a documentary published by the German station ZDF. In it, the outstanding footballer spoke about the difficult period at the club.

Kimmich spoke about the destroyed trust between him and the club

Joshua Kimmich is not only one of the key players, but also one of the great idols. He has never been the subject of any scandals. He is also very special in that he has no agent and handles everything himself. However, during the coronavirus pandemic, he did get one scratch.

He refused to be vaccinated against coronavirus, which he described in the documentary as a brutal period. “My friends told me that if I had gotten the vaccine, fewer people would have died. It was crazy. If I didn’t have the support of my family, it would have been easy to have a mental breakdown,” GetFootballNewsGermany quotes him as saying.

But that was not all. ” For a long time I felt lonely. At that time I was in my seventh year at the club, there were no scandals around me, this was the first blemish. But I noticed how Bayern reacted. I was disappointed, it hurt me.”

Shortly before deciding not to vaccinate, Kimmich signed a contract until 2025. But he regretted it for a while afterwards. Bayern refused to pay his wages. However, it was a rule at the club for anyone who refused to be vaccinated, contracted coronavirus and had to be quarantined.

“What do you do at a time like that? Do you get vaccinated so you can play again? Or will you be in fear for weeks and months, not allowed to play? I renewed my contract with the aim of winning the Champions League. But the feeling of confidence I had in the club before was destroyed,” the German footballer let slip.

But all that is in the past. A lot has changed since then. Including Kimmich getting vaccinated. Among other things, because he had contracted the coronavirus himself. He later regretted having delayed the vaccination. But he was cautious. He was waiting for the vaccines to be properly researched.

Yet he’s still only under contract until next summer. As well as Barcelona, Manchester City are also interested in him, and clubs from Saudi Arabia are also circling.
