Overview
- FC Bayern officially confirmed the extension when Konrad Laimer signed at the club's Säbener Straße offices on Monday, keeping him with the team until June 30, 2029.
- Sporting directors Max Eberl and Christoph Freund praised Laimer's reliability, versatility and dressing-room influence after the contract was completed.
- Laimer is a 29-year-old Austria international who has made 136 appearances for Bayern since joining in 2023/24, won four domestic titles and played every minute for Austria at the recent World Cup.
- Reports say negotiations included a wage dispute in which Laimer sought a rise from about €9 million to €12–15 million, and the sides settled on a moderate pay increase after Uli Hoeneß intervened in talks.
- The extension secures a multi-positional player during Bayern's squad planning and could influence the club's pay structure and transfer choices as they balance experience with future signings.
