FC Bayern Munich is currently in talks with several players. Some contracts are set to be extended, including Konrad Laimer’s. There are now new developments in this regard.
In general, negotiations with the Austrian have been going on for a long time, and at one point it looked as though there might be significant differences because the player’s side was demanding substantial financial concessions.
Honorary President Uli Hoeneß also announced that under no circumstances would the club pay Laimer a very high salary, which caused quite a stir. But the waters calmed down fairly quickly, and Laimer’s side met FC Bayern halfway.
That was the latest update. Now there are positive developments. According to *kicker*, there has been a breakthrough in the negotiations.
Laimer’s contract extension is imminent
According to the report, a contract extension is now imminent, and all parties have given the green light. And this is reportedly on economically reasonable terms.
Laimer is therefore likely to receive a pay raise, though this will either be moderate or will only become substantial through numerous potential bonus payments.
The 29-year-old, who never really wanted to leave FC Bayern in the first place, is currently with the Austrian national team at the World Cup and will face Jordan there tomorrow, Wednesday, at 6 a.m.
Bayern has planning certainty at right back
According to the report, FC Bayern officials are now very confident that an announcement regarding the contract extension will be made shortly.
With the Austrian and Josip Stanisic, FC Bayern would have planning security at the right-back position for the time being. On the left, Nathaniel Brown is also expected to join from Eintracht Frankfurt to strengthen the full-back position in the squad.
