"Bayern keen to extend another contract, want player to stay for years" | OneFootball

FC Bayern has made a strong start to the new season – and one player in particular is in the spotlight: Konrad Laimer. The Austrian shines with his versatility and tireless commitment. Now Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund has also spoken out and given him high praise.

Laimer is one of the most consistent players in Vincent Kompany’s squad. Whether in midfield or, most recently, filling in at left-back after Josip Stanisic’s injury – the 27-year-old always delivers reliably.

“Internally, he’s definitely not flying under the radar. He’s a great guy and an important part of the team. He’s incredibly versatile and plays really well. The way he plays is a real asset to the team. On top of that, he’s improved technically and works well with Michael Olise,” Freund raved in an interview with Sky.

He continued: “Even on the left, he’s done very well recently. He defends differently there, has learned a lot, and you can see the joy he has playing. It’s really fun to watch him.”

Laimer’s current contract in Munich runs until 2027. Given his strong performances, however, questions about his future are already being raised. Freund confirmed that there have not yet been any concrete talks, but hinted that it is only a matter of time: “We haven’t spoken in detail yet. But he’s a great guy and we know he feels comfortable here. We’re all very happy with him, so of course we’d be delighted if he played here for a very long time.”

One thing is clear: Laimer has established himself as a key figure at FC Bayern. His versatility and commitment make him indispensable for both coach and team. Looking ahead, it seems only a matter of time before the club’s management discusses a long-term collaboration.
