Bayern’s Eberl Says He’s Not Worried If Konrad Laimer Leaves for Free

The comment points to a hard wage line after reports the club rejected the midfielder’s €12–€15m pay request.

Overview

  • Bayern board member Max Eberl said talks with Konrad Laimer are ongoing, stressed there is no bad blood, and noted the club would not lose much if he left on a free transfer.
  • Reports from Bild, echoed by local outlets, say Bayern turned down Laimer’s €12–€15m salary demand and are open to selling him this summer or letting his contract run to 2027.
  • Laimer’s current pay is reported at €8–€9m, which makes his request close to a doubling of his wages.
  • The Austrian has become a key piece for manager Vincent Kompany, filling roles in midfield and at right back with high energy and discipline.
  • Coverage frames Bayern’s stance as part of a wage-structure reset after big renewals for players like Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, and Dayot Upamecano, which could force a summer decision on Laimer.
