Joshua Kimmich, born on 8 February 1995 (age 31), is a Germany midfielder whose career is tied overwhelmingly to Bayern Munich. Primarily a central defensive midfielder, he has spent 12 seasons there, making 325 league appearances and scoring 30 league goals.
That Bayern spell is the substance of the story rather than a chapter within it. His most productive league campaign came in 2016-17, when he scored six times in 27 appearances, but his wider value has been in the regularity and range of his work rather than one standout scoring season.
In 2026-27, Kimmich has made one Bundesliga appearance and one DFL-Supercup appearance for Bayern. His market value is around £42.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
He has also remained involved with Germany, with four World Cup appearances and five European World Cup qualifying appearances, scoring twice in the qualifiers.
Kimmich’s career is, in plain terms, a long Bayern Munich career with a sustained Germany role alongside it. The scale of the Bayern appearance total says most of what needs saying.
