Overview
- Reports from Kicker, Transfermarkt and regional outlets said on Tuesday that months of salary-driven negotiations have moved into a final phase and a compromise model is now said to be in place.
- The talks stalled for more than six months over differing pay expectations but Bayern sporting director Max Eberl has publicly said the club wants to extend and must 'find a bridge' between positions.
- One outlet reported a possible rise in Laimer’s annual pay from about €8–9 million to as much as €12 million, but that figure remains unconfirmed by the club.
- Laimer’s current contract runs until 30 June 2027 and the 29-year-old is on duty with Austria at the 2026 World Cup while final details are worked out behind the scenes.
- If completed, an extension would secure right-back depth alongside Josip Stanisic and affect Bayern’s wider transfer and wage planning, including ongoing interest in a left-back reinforcement.
