A few days ago, Kimmich expressed in an interview that he hopes Gnabry will continue to stay on the team, and the latter's contract with Bayern is entering the final year.

Kimmich said: "Purely from a personal point of view, I really hope so. But most importantly, as a friend, I hope he can achieve his goals. I don't know his plans, or what other ideas and goals he has. But my intuition tells me that now is not the time to think about the future. Gnabry is very focused on his work now, and it is really a pleasure to watch him play."
