Bayern Insider Podcast by Sport Bild reveals that negotiations for Konrad Laimer’s contract with Bayern Munich are facing challenges. The talented Austrian international’s current contract expires at the conclusion of next season. Laimer believes his worth exceeds the financial offer presented by the Bundesliga giants.
What’s the Gap Between Bayern and Konrad Laimer?
According to the podcast, the 28-year-old is seeking an annual salary of €15 million, significantly higher than his current earnings of €8 million. Laimer’s representation has a solid basis for this demand; he has effectively transitioned from a natural midfielder to an elite right-back under former head coach Thomas Tuchel. Additionally, under Vincent Kompany, he has also performed well as an emergency left-back.

Is Laimer Likely to Re-sign with Bayern?
As the Austrian international, who has 55 caps, and Bayern Munich have ample time for negotiations regarding a new contract, a breakthrough does not seem imminent. Recently, Max Eberl and the Bayern administrative team finalized new contracts with attacker Serge Gnabry and defender Dayot Upamecano. The salary hikes in these agreements will likely add to Bayern’s payroll expenses.
