Bayern do not consider Konrad Laimer as irreplaceable as other players who have recently extended their contracts, therefore the club is currently unwilling to meet the Austrian’s demands and give him a significant pay rise. Negotiations are at a standstill and Laimer’s future is uncertain.
Bayern want to keep their foot down regarding salaries. The driving forces behind that are supervisory board members Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. This desire for a tough negotiating stance has already been made clear to Max Eberl on several occasions. Eberl now knows what to do if he wants the backing of the club’s leadership.
In addition, Bayern are planning to further strengthen the full-back positions this summer and will have several alternatives next season, so Laimer’s departure either this summer or on a free in 2027 is a possibility.
