Smoothing the waters: Hoeneß and Laimer apparently make peace | OneFootball

FC Bayern would like to extend the contract with defender Konrad Laimer, but Uli Hoeneß recently made it unmistakably clear that the record champions are setting clear limits in the poker game. The way in which they communicated this caused displeasure

Hoeneß made it clear that although Laimer was valued, he did not have the status of Harry Kane, which had to be taken into account in salary negotiations. This did not go down well with the players

After that, however, it looked as if both sides were moving towards each other again relatively quickly. Laimer himself was said to have come one step closer to FC Bayern in the negotiations. An agreement still seems realistic

Hoeneß and Laimer: Reconciliation at the championship celebrations?

On Sunday, there was another step in the right direction, as both Hoeneß and Laimer were not only present at the championship celebrations, but were also in a very good mood. This ensured that the honorary president of the record champions also approached Laimer during the celebrations

According to a report in BILD, there was an interesting scene there. The Bayern patron approached the Austrian in a friendly mood. Hoeneß went up to Konrad Laimer, gave the Austrian star a mixture of a small slap and a pat on the cheek with his hand. There were a few warm sentences, both chatted briefly. Laimer then grinned in the direction of Hoeneß, both winked at each other

So it seems that the dust has settled, which can only be an advantage for the contract poker between the two parties. The player is still demanding a pay rise, but if this is significantly more moderate than the original initial demand, then it should work out in the end.
