Konrad Laimer Extends Bayern Munich Contract Until 2029

FC Bayern Munich has officially announced a two-year contract extension for Konrad Laimer. Negotiations for the Austrian international's new deal were lengthy, reportedly due to significant salary expectations from the player.

FCB Honorary President Uli Hoeneß had previously commented on the situation, suggesting in a DAZN interview that Laimer's demands were "Maradona-like." While it's not confirmed if Laimer's exact salary demands were met, the fact that a deal was rumored to be close over a month ago indicates a compromise was reached.

Given Laimer's versatility and his impressive performance statistics last year – including three goals and 13 assists in 47 appearances across all competitions – it is highly probable that the World Cup participant received a substantial pay increase.

Sky Germany reports that Laimer's annual salary is expected to be around €10 million, including bonuses.
