Joshua Kimmich, born on 8 February 1995 (age 31), is a German defensive midfielder whose senior career is bound tightly to Bayern Munich. He wears the No 6 shirt and remains a regular first-team presence in 2026-2027, which says enough about his usefulness at a club not known for keeping passengers around.
Across 12 seasons with Bayern, Kimmich has made 328 league appearances and scored 30 league goals. His most productive league campaign came in 2016-2017, when he scored six times in 27 appearances. The broader pattern has been less about headline numbers and more about endurance, reliability and the ability to live in demanding teams year after year.
In 2026-2027, he has made six Bayern appearances across all competitions, including four in the Bundesliga, along with outings in the DFL-Supercup and Champions League. His current market value is around £42.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Kimmich has also remained involved with Germany, with recent appearances in the World Cup and European qualifiers, scoring twice in qualifying. His career is not hard to read: a long-serving Bayern midfielder, still relevant in the side, with international work continuing alongside it.
