For a long time, doubts surrounded Paris Saint-Germain’s interest in Joshua Kimmich. This time, the player himself has confirmed that the French club genuinely tried to sign him. In a documentary broadcast by ZDF, the German midfielder revealed details about the summer of 2024, a period when his future at Bayern Munich appeared highly uncertain.
At the time, Kimmich was seriously considering leaving the Bavarian club. “I was 95% sure I wouldn’t extend my contract,” he explained, believing Bayern were not doing everything possible to keep him. “I had the feeling that Bayern were completely willing to let me leave,” the German international admitted.
PSG’s Strong Push for Kimmich
PSG quickly moved to take advantage of the situation. Kimmich revealed that he held direct talks with Luis Campos and Luis Enrique, two key figures in the Parisian project. “Paris was a club that showed me strong commitment. I spoke with the sporting director and the coach. They did an excellent job and made me feel that they truly wanted me,” he said.
The club’s vision particularly caught his attention. PSG did not simply offer him a place in the squad but a leadership role within the team. “I was supposed to be an important piece of the puzzle there, as a more experienced player. It really made me think,” Kimmich admitted.
The financial aspect also played a major role in his decision-making process. “Paris made me an offer. Financially, it was incredible. Really. Very, very incredible,” he revealed. Despite the lucrative proposal, Kimmich ultimately decided to remain at Bayern Munich, citing both sporting and family reasons. His comments nevertheless confirm that PSG came remarkably close to pulling off one of the biggest transfer moves of the 2024 summer window.
