Have the Bavarians rehearsed with the Kimmich logo for emergencies and want to announce the good news in the coming days?
The people of Munich usually only use special lighting for special occasions.
The arena has already shone in different patterns in the past, for example for the club anniversary or most recently in rainbow colors on Christopher Street Day.
At Christmas the stadium was a wrapped present, on St. Patrick's Day it shone in an unusual green.
Kimmich's contract extension would certainly be a fitting occasion.

FC Bayern: Kimmich will probably extend contract until 2026
Kimmich has been back from vacation since last week and is full of energy, which can be seen in every training session. The 26-year-old Rottweiler plays a decisive role in Bayern's plans and is one of the leading players. “We want to extend with Goretzka and Kimmich. Neuer and Müller are in top shape, who knows how long they'll be playing. We want to build a team around them, ”said sports director Hasan Salihamidzic on Sunday in a one-
two
, but did not want to be looked at during the talks. “Whether one is extending it or how far it is, I won't say anything. Only when everything is fixed. "
"Kimmich sits in my office every day and says: 'I want to win'", revealed Brazzo and then even admitted that these talks were also about the future and Kimmich's contract. A contract extension with Kimmich should therefore only be a matter of time. The negotiations with Kimmich's buddy Leon Goretzka, who recently answered a reporter's question in Bavarian about contract poker *, surprisingly openly, are well advanced.
