'Convinced he’ll extend' – will Bayern seal this deal soon? | OneFootball

At FC Bayern, the squad of the future is being built. A key player is set to extend his contract at all costs. A transfer insider is convinced he will stay.

FC Bayern is continuing to work intensively on its squad planning – and another important contract could soon be extended. Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg is certain that Konrad Laimer will sign a new contract with the German record champions.

Plettenberg said: “If they act now, it could happen very quickly. I am absolutely convinced that Laimer will extend his contract with FC Bayern in the next few weeks or months. So: thumbs up, there is no other tendency.”

Under coach Vincent Kompany, Laimer is one of the absolute ever-presents. The 28-year-old has developed into one of the most reliable performers in the Bayern team, impressing with his tremendous stamina, tackling strength, and versatility. There are currently hardly any right-backs worldwide as strong as Laimer. In the Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, which Bayern won 2-1, Laimer once again delivered a strong performance.

Sporting director Christoph Freund also recently emphasized how important Laimer is for the future. “Konny is a great guy and a key player for the future. It would be wonderful if he stayed at FC Bayern for a very, very long time,” said Freund.

The Austrian’s contract runs until 2027, but is set to be extended early – probably until 2029. According to information from Sport BILD, the club’s sporting management is already actively working on an early contract extension. A salary increase is also reportedly planned. Laimer himself feels at home in Munich and quickly found his place after his free transfer from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023.
