“Jerome’s contract expires in the summer. It will not be extended,” Salihamidzic told Sky in Germany before Bayern’s clash against PSG in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday.

“That was a joint decision of the club management and the coach was also involved. I explained that to Jerome and he was very understanding. He leaves through a big door – hopefully with titles.”

David Alaba will also leave Bayern in the summer upon the expiry of his contract but the German champions have already secured the arrival of RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano for next season.
