Joshua Kimmich, born on 8 February 1995 (age 31), is a German defensive midfielder whose career has been shaped almost entirely at Bayern Munich. Wearing the number 6 shirt, he has become a long-running first-team presence rather than a passing part of the furniture.
His Bayern record is substantial: 328 league appearances and 30 league goals across 12 seasons. His most productive league campaign came in 2016-2017, when he scored six times in 27 appearances. That is not the usual profile of a holding midfielder, but Kimmich has rarely been a narrow specialist.
He remains part of the Bayern side in 2026-2027, with six appearances across all competitions so far, including league, DFL-Supercup and Champions League involvement. His current market value is around £42.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Kimmich has also continued to be involved with Germany, appearing this season in World Cup, World Cup qualifying and Nations League matches, with two goals in five European qualifiers. His career, though, is still chiefly read through Bayern: a long-serving, senior midfielder who remains relevant in the current side.
