Konrad Laimer’s contract extension is about to be finalized. Further details regarding the new agreement between FC Bayern and the Austrian national team player have now been revealed.
At FC Bayern, the next major personnel decision is all but finalized. Konrad Laimer has agreed to a new contract with the record champions that runs through 2029. The contract is expected to be signed shortly, after which the Munich club plans to officially announce the extension.
After it was recently reported that both sides had reached a basic agreement to continue their partnership, further details about the new contract have now been revealed.
Laimer breaks the ten-million mark
According to information from Sky, Laimer will earn more than ten million euros gross per year going forward. This sum already includes performance-based bonus payments.
This gives the 29-year-old a moderate pay raise. During the negotiations, there were initially differing views on the financial terms. Nevertheless, according to the latest information, it was clear to both sides at all times that they wanted to continue their partnership in the long term.
After several rounds of talks, the final outstanding issues were finally resolved.
Laimer remains a key player under Kompany
With this contract extension, FC Bayern once again underscores the Austrian’s high standing within the team.
Vincent Kompany regularly relies on Laimer, who can play both in central midfield and at either fullback position. It is precisely his versatility and his tremendous stamina that make him an important part of the Bayern squad.
Uli Hoeneß had also recently confirmed that an agreement had practically been reached. The deal is now set to be finalized imminently.
With this new contract running through 2029, FC Bayern is securing another key player to the club for the long term. Following the contract extensions of other key starters, the Munich club is thus continuing its strategy of keeping the core of the team together for the long term.
