Bayern Munich secures Konrad Laimer until 2029

FC Bayern Munich has reached an agreement with Konrad Laimer for a contract extension until 2029 after months of negotiations. The 29-year-old Austrian will remain with the record champions long-term. Laimer, who joined Bayern Munich on a free transfer from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023, established himself as an undisputed starter last season. In 51 competitive matches, he scored three goals and provided twelve assists. The contract negotiations were marked by media reports of salary demands between twelve and 15 million euros before both sides agreed on a moderate increase.

What does the contract extension mean for Bayern Munich?

With the extension of Laimer’s contract, Bayern Munich secures one of the most important players from last season. The versatile player can be deployed in multiple positions and is a key part of the team. Sports director Max Eberl emphasized: “Konny is a player who motivates and inspires others every single day.” Laimer himself expressed his happiness about the decision: “I am very happy in Munich and it’s a lot of fun to play in this team.”

How has Laimer developed at Bayern Munich?

With his versatility and leadership qualities, he has proven to be indispensable. Currently, Lennart Karl and Serge Gnabry are sidelined due to injuries, further highlighting Laimer’s importance to the team.
