Bayern Put Laimer Extension Talks on Hold Over Reported Pay Gap
Bayern has paused discussions to assess a pay demand reported to top €15 million against its wage structure.
Overview
- Talks are on hold with Bayern and Konrad Laimer described as far apart on salary expectations by Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.
- Laimer’s current package is reported at €9 million base plus €2.25 million in bonuses, totaling €11.25 million.
- Reports say his representatives are seeking well over €15 million, with uncertainty over whether that figure refers to base salary or total compensation.
- Club-focused analysis points to performance-linked bonuses as a potential compromise rather than a large fixed pay rise.
- Fresh reports link Liverpool and Atlético Madrid with interest, while Laimer is described as very happy at Bayern and he is managing a minor ankle issue after playing through it against Dortmund.
