Bayern Munich withdraws contract offer for Joshua Kimmich.

According to Bild, Bayern Munich has withdrawn its contract offer for Joshua Kimmich.

The 30-year-old's contract at the Allianz Arena is set to expire this summer, and both parties have been in talks about extending his stay with the club.

However, despite becoming a key figure for Vincent Kompany this season, implying that he would be the face of Bayern for the next few seasons, it appears that the German international could leave the club for free this summer.

As stated in the report, Kimmich was informed at the beginning of the week that the offer made by the record champions had been withdrawn.

This is because those in charge in Bavaria don't understand why the midfielder hasn't already agreed to extend his stay while refusing to discuss the finer points of the contract once more.

Is this it for Joshua Kimmich and Bayern Munich?

Nonetheless, this does not mean Kimmich will leave, as the player and club are still in talks about a new deal.

The initial offer made by Bayern was thought to be slightly more lucrative than his current €20 million-per-year contract, but if the two do reach an agreement now, it is unlikely that it will be on favorable terms for the German international.

Der Rekordmeister had hoped to reduce Kimmich's salary at the club, but this was rejected due to his prominent role under Kompany this season.

Regardless, now that Kimmich has hesitated to sign, Bayern may return to their original goal of lowering his salary.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own. In the minutes following Bove's fall, his teammates and opponents were visibly stunned and sad, with some in tears. In April, Roma defender Evan Ndicka collapsed with a hand on his chest, and Piermario Morosini died after heart arrest during a Serie B match 12 years ago. Inter and Fiorentina are both near the ...

Barcelona dealt enormous injury blow ahead of Inter and Real Madrid clashes.

In a heartbreaking evening, Barcelona came back from two goals down against Inter in the Champions League semi-final first leg. The Blaugrana will believe they should have won the game after losing twice from set pieces. Now they're calculating the expense. After only 42 minutes, French defender Jules Kounde collapsed on the pitch, clutching the back of his calf. He had to be replaced by Eric Garcia, who performed admirably as a right-back out of position. Kounde's injury has raised concerns ahead of a number of critical games. Kounde will be tested on Thursday, but it appears that he has a muscle problem, most likely more serious than a grade tear. According to Sport, Kounde will miss their La Liga match against Real Valladolid, their Champions League return leg in Milan against Inter, and their decisive Clasico against Real Madrid the following weekend. Kounde was seen limping as he exited the stadium, telling the cameras, 'We'll see tomorrow'.
