Contract talks between Konrad Laimer and FC Bayern are at a standstill – the two sides are apparently far apart when it comes to salary expectations
The future of Konrad Laimer at FC Bayern is still open. As reported by Sky, the club and player are „very far apart“ in the ongoing talks over a contract extension. The negotiations are currently even said to be on hold
According to the report, the 28-year-old currently earns over ten million euros gross per year. His representatives are demanding „well over“ 15 million euros per year for an extension, a sum that those responsible at Säbener Straße are apparently not prepared to pay
Agency knows Bayern’s salary structure
Explosive: Laimer and ROOF are represented by the same consultancy agency as Serge Gnabry and Leon Goretzka. According to Sky, his representatives therefore know exactly what the salary structure at FC Bayern is. This intensifies the negotiating position – and possibly explains the high demand
There have already been indications in recent weeks that the talks are proving difficult. Internally, there is said to be friction over the salary issue. Officially, Laimer recently expressed his calmness: „There aren’t many talks at the moment. I’m still relaxed,“ he said and emphasised: „You can’t get your head too high.“
Bayern basically has the leverage
In sporting terms, Laimer is an important building block for coach Vincent Kompany and is firmly established as a right-back in particular. Consistent performances and great flexibility make him valuable to the squad
Nevertheless, the record champions are increasingly cautious when it comes to the salary structure. A significant salary increase above the 15 million mark would set new standards internally
At the moment, Bayern and Laimer are probably far apart on the salary issue – and the poker continues.
