Since Kimmich was about to leave, Barcelona used this chance and sent him an offer, even though Kimmich was close to leaving Bayern Munich for Barcelona in the past summer but now it seems Kimmich wants to stay in Bayern Munich and he is about to extend his contract, maybe Kompany was the reason for it.

It is true that Vincent Kompany is the reason Joshua Kimmich remains at the Allianz Arena, because he is again trusted to fill the position that is indeed his specialty. Although so far there has been no news about his contract extension, Kimmich admitted that he is happy to work with Vincent Kompany. He had stated this on several occasions to the media, especially after having talks with their new coach. The reason that made Kimmich stay with Munich was because he was again trusted to fill his original position, because with Tuchel he seemed forced to play as a wing-back. Throughout the matches he played with Bayern Munich, Kimmich was one of those who was considered to have much better statistics than his colleagues. However, so far I have not heard/read any new information regarding his contract extension. because, this season is his last season. if Kompany is able to win the Bundesliga title with his team, it is likely that this midfielder will be willing to extend his contract in Munich.
