The potential arrival of Joshua Kimmich at Real Madrid seemed to have gained momentum, but it has been completely ruled out. BILD already considers his renewal with Bayern a done deal, noting that "negotiations are very advanced" and the intention of both parties is to reach an agreement. He has the proposal to continue on the table and it is ready to sign, having already received the definitive "no" from Florentino Pérez.
Despite the fact that Real Madrid had seriously considered signing Joshua Kimmich, the reality is that they never really went for him. The German is highly regarded and fits well into the current squad, but the truth is that, due to conditions (age and salary), there were many doubts about his possible arrival at Santiago Bernabéu.
Having officially communicated their refusal, Florentino Pérez has given Kimmich the green light to renew his contract with Bayern. He will not have a salary reduction and will continue to be one of the highest-paid footballers in Germany.
Joshua Kimmich Will Stay at Bayern: Camavinga Celebrates It at Real Madrid
With Joshua Kimmich's continuity at Bayern confirmed, the truth is that there is a big beneficiary at Real Madrid: Camavinga. If he had arrived, the German would have taken away much of his importance within Ancelotti's squad. In this sense, he is considered the player who has gained the most from this latest development.
If Joshua Kimmich had arrived at Madrid, the reality is that he would have been welcomed with open arms by the locker room. The first of them would have been Camavinga, delighted with the possibility of learning from a footballer of his stature.
Florentino Pérez had seriously considered this possibility, having put his name on the table through Toni Kroos. The president has great confidence in the German's word, who, behind closed doors, pointed to him as his possible replacement in the midfield of Real Madrid. However, it has become clear that this will not happen for various reasons.
Thus, Joshua Kimmich will renew his contract with Bayern after receiving the final refusal from Real Madrid. It is expected that there will be developments in this regard in the coming days, signing a new contract to stay there for many years.
