New Delhi: With reports in Germany suggesting that German midfielder Joshua Kimmich could be on his way out of the club at the end of his contract this summer, Bayern Munich’s Sporting Director Max Eberl has stated that despite wanting to extend Kimmich’s stay at the club, it is not going to be the end of the world if he decides to leave. 

Kimmich joined the Bavarian giants in 2015 and has won the Bundesliga eight times. A midfield anchor with the ability to play full-back as well, Kimmich has racked up 435 appearances across 10 seasons with the club and scored 43 goals. He played a key role in their 2019/20 Champions League triumph.

“Generally, no one is above the club! If a player decides differently, then he decides differently. Then, things will continue at FC Bayern. There were great players here at FC Bayern who eventually had to leave the club because they couldn’t reach an agreement and their contracts ran out. Then it all just keeps happening,” said Eberl to German outlet Bild. IANS
