Challenges in Konrad Laimer’s Contract Negotiations with Bayern Munich

omidbasir- The latest edition of Sport Bild’s “Bayern Insider Podcast” reveals that negotiations regarding Konrad Laimer’s contract with Bayern Munich are facing significant hurdles. The Austrian international’s current contract is set to expire at the conclusion of the upcoming season, and he believes his worth exceeds what the Bundesliga champions are currently offering.

According to the podcast, Laimer is aiming for an annual salary of €15 million, which represents a substantial increase from his existing €8 million earnings. His representation has valid grounds to push for this increase, given Laimer’s successful transition from a natural midfielder to a highly regarded right back under former head coach Thomas Tuchel. Furthermore, he has also demonstrated versatility by performing effectively as a makeshift left back under Vincent Kompany.

With ample time remaining for negotiations, both Laimer and Bayern Munich are not under immediate pressure to reach an agreement. However, a breakthrough is not anticipated in the near future. It’s worth noting that Max Eberl and the Bayern administration have recently finalized new contracts for forward Serge Gnabry and defender Dayot Upamecano, which have undoubtedly increased the club’s payroll.
