Overview
- Uli Hoeneß publicly said on June 24, 2026, that Bayern and Konrad Laimer have agreed on the decisive points of an extension and only the player's signature remains.
- Club sources say the formal signing will be delayed so Laimer can focus on Austria's World Cup matches and finalise the paperwork after the tournament.
- Negotiations had stalled over Laimer's request for a substantial pay rise, and Hoeneß intervened to broker the compromise that led to the current agreement.
- Laimer joined Bayern from RB Leipzig on a free transfer in 2023 and is under contract until 2027; he has become a versatile, often-starting leader who has played full matches for Austria at the World Cup.
- Securing Laimer would lock in midfield depth and continuity for Bayern under Vincent Kompany and reduce the club's short-term roster uncertainty once the contract is signed.
