Joshua Kimmich is ready to expand his contract Bayern Munich after the club has sanctioned a new deal for the midfielder.
The Germany International, 30, would be a free agent this summer and has been free since January to speak with interested clubs from abroad.
Arsenal belongs to the teams that Kimmich has reached, which eight Bundesliga titles and the Champions League have won since he joined the German giants of RB Leipzig in 2015.
Recently it turned out that Kimmich and the sports director of the club, Max Eberl, had concluded an agreement on a deal. But the potential contract still had to be ratified by the club's supervisory board, which met on Thursday.
The details of the aforementioned meeting have now been unveiled by Sky Sport Germany, who report that the club has approved the new Kimmich deal and that the midfielder is about to be able to put a pen.
In addition to interest from Arsenal and a verbal agreement with Bayern, Kimmich also had a contract offer on the table of Paris Saint-Germain. It has been reported that they offered the versatile star until 2029 a deal.
Kimmich was again asked about his future after Bayern Bayer Leverkusen defeated 3-0 in the first stage of their Champions League round of 16 draw on Wednesday evening and said: “A decision will certainly be made soon.
“The ball is not in my court. My plan was to do it before the international break. The club wanted it before the two Leverkusen competitions. I notice that Max [Eberl] Is honest and fights.
“It's not about squeezing the last euro. I know that Max (Eberl) is very honest and fights. I really appreciate that. I also don't have the impression that I am completely greedy. It's not about squeezing the last euro. Max knows that. We had very good conversations.
“My plan was to make my decision for the international break. The club didn't want that, which is legitimate. I appreciate that they have given me a lot of time. It was important to start this season after a difficult start after a difficult last season and to build a relationship with each other.
“The club now wanted to make a decision before the two games against Leverkusen. For me complicated injury a bit complicated, without going into detail. But there will be a decision soon. I don't know if it will be between the two legs, but it will certainly be for the international break at the last minute. “
