According to Bild, Bayern Munich wants the 'old' Joshua Kimmich back.

The record champions believe João Palhinha is the ideal number six, allowing Kimmich to return to his position as number eight.
This would allow Kimmich to resume his role as midfield leader, with full support from those in control in Bavaria.
Furthermore, while negotiations for a new contract have yet to begin, there is speculation that Kimmich might be named Bayern captain if he agrees to drop his salary demands and sign a new long-term contract at the Allianz Arena.
