Madrid Bids Farewell to a Star, His Renewal is Official and He Says Goodbye to the White Club

Despite the interest, he won't leave his team and it has already been confirmed

Real Madrid has managed several names for next summer to strengthen themselves. The arrival of some players is expected for specific positions where they have struggled. It is true that it has been in defense where most problems have existed due to injuries in recent years.

But also in midfield, where Kroos's departure was a very painful blow last summer. Ceballos was performing excellently but also had physical problems and is currently out. Tchouaméni started very inconsistently although he has ended up silencing the critical voices with a great level.

Even so, they had the name of Kimmich as one of the possible alternatives because his contract was ending. His quality and experience made him a player to seriously consider at zero cost. But finally his departure from Bayern is not going to happen this summer.

It was Fabrizio Romano who updated the news regarding the German midfielder. "Joshua Kimmich has signed a new long-term contract with Bayern" he began. He will remain linked "until June 2029" and the official announcement has been made.

Real Madrid Wasn't Considering His Signing Unless a Great Opportunity Arised

It is true that Real Madrid had closely followed Kimmich's situation with his contract. Especially because technically they believed he was the most similar to Kroos. At least in terms of quality with the ball at his feet and organizational capacity from the back.

However, they weren't considering his signing since at his age they believe he no longer has further progression. They preferred to focus on another target, although without completely ruling out Kimmich just in case. If he became a free agent and asked for a reasonable salary, it would be a great market opportunity.

But the fact that more teams were after him complicated reaching that scenario. That's why he wasn't among the priorities and once his renewal was confirmed, even less so. It's his definitive goodbye to Real Madrid, this time to stay at Bayern
