Overview
- Max Eberl said negotiations with Konrad Laimer are ongoing and not in agreement and he downplayed the risk of losing the player for nothing, saying, “He came here on a free, so we wouldn’t lose much.”
- Multiple reports say Laimer wants €12–15 million per year and Bayern will not meet it, with the club open to a sale this summer or to letting his deal run to 2027, which leaves one more season before a free exit.
- Following Saturday’s 3-3 draw with Heidenheim after heavy rotation before the PSG second leg, Michael Olise forced a 100th‑minute equalizer when his shot hit the post and bounced in off goalkeeper Diant Ramaj.
- Vincent Kompany and sporting director Christoph Freund acknowledged Bayern are allowing too many avoidable goals and called for a response this week, with recent matches totaling 11 conceded across Mainz, PSG, and Heidenheim.
- Laimer’s ability to start in midfield or at full-back makes him hard to replace, and several outlets describe these talks as a test of Bayern’s plan to curb wage inflation after past big contracts, a stance that could shape summer squad moves.
