Joshua Kimmich, born on 8 February 1995 (age 31), is a German defensive midfielder whose senior career is tied overwhelmingly to Bayern Munich. He wears the number 6 shirt and has been a fixture there across 12 seasons, with 327 league appearances and 30 league goals.
His Bayern record is the substance of the story. Kimmich’s best scoring league campaign came in 2016-17, when he scored six times in 27 appearances, but his value has generally sat in the control and reliability of his midfield work rather than in headline numbers.
In 2026-27, he has made five Bayern appearances across the Bundesliga, DFL-Supercup and Champions League. He has also remained involved with Germany, including five European World Cup qualifiers, scoring twice, and four World Cup appearances.
His market value is around £42.5m, according to Transfermarkt. It is a career built at Bayern, with Germany running alongside it, and little need for padding beyond that.
