Overview
- Max Eberl said at the Wolfsburg match on Saturday that negotiations with Konrad Laimer are stalled because the sides' views do not align, though Bayern still wants to extend.
- Bayern is ready to let Laimer play out his deal to June 30, 2027 and accept a free departure, with Eberl noting the midfielder also arrived without a transfer fee in 2023.
- Honorary president Uli Hoeneß praised Laimer’s work rate yet said he is not a Maradona-level star and that players must accept clear pay limits.
- Media reports say Laimer is seeking a major raise, roughly from about €8 million to up to €15 million a year, which the club has not confirmed.
- Eberl stressed there is no bad blood between the parties despite the pause in talks.
