France's Foot Mercato reported on the 12th (Korea time) 'Bayern has made a strong decision for Kimihi's future'
News poured in that Kimihi would leave Bayern, where he had been in the transfer market for nine seasons since 2015. Already, rumors of Kimihi's transfer have been raised steadily since last summer, but Kimihi has consistently chosen to stay. At the time of last summer, news spread that Kimihi could take on a new challenge, drawing attention from Barcelona and Manchester City, but the transfer was not completed again.
In the transfer market last winter, Kimihi's choice was only to stay. The number of clubs paying attention to the gap between the club and the players has increased as Kimihi and Bayern's contract period is not far away until summer 2025. The names of several clubs, including Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and Arsenal, were mentioned, but detailed negotiations did not proceed.

Bayern reportedly handed Kimihi the last option. He is expected to wait only for a decision on whether to cut his weekly pay sharply or leave the team, and if Kimihi does not, he will accept the transfer. And PSG is the team that is aiming for the transfer.
At first, Kimihi's transfer to PSG seemed sufficiently possible. Some German media outlets reported 'Kimihi's future is open. PSG is showing specific interest in him. Kimihi could leave Bayern this summer if he gets a proper offer. PSG are interested in a move this summer or a free agent in 2025, and PSG head coach Luis Enrique and chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi are serious about Kimihi.
However, Kimihi chose Bayern, where he devoted himself for nine seasons. Bayern also decided to respect Kimihi's choice.

Then 'Bangsang Kompany also maintains a good atmosphere with Kimihi. Kompany's appointment and Kimihi's good relationship with General Manager Max Eberle have had a good effect, he added. Regarding the recent renewal of Kimihi's contract, Eberle said, "There was the first exchange with Kimihi about the renewal. It was a very good and positive conversation. We will discuss further"
Kimihi's choice, who devoted himself to Bayern, is heading to renewing his contract. Attention is focusing on whether Bayern and Kimihi will accompany them after the 10th season.
