It is very unlikely that Konrad Laimer will switch from cup winners RB Leipzig to German soccer champions Bayern Munich in the summer. “The tendency is very, very big that he stays with us,” said RB CEO Oliver Mintzlaff in a talk with the “Leipziger Volkszeitung”. You want to keep the top performers. “And Konny is an incredible top performer. That’s why he wants FC Bayern.” Mintzlaff did not want to announce the whereabouts of the midfielder as perfect, as the transfer window is still open until the beginning of September.
- The official is currently also concerned with not having to give Laimer a free transfer in the coming year. Therefore, an extension of the contract, which expires in 2023, is also possible. A matching clause in the paper could then be changed, allowing the Austria international to switch.
- According to various reports, Leipzig is demanding a transfer fee of 30 million euros for Laimer. FC Bayern has apparently not been willing to offer this sum so far. Last year, the players Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Sabitzer as well as coach Julian Nagelsmann and various supervisors left Leipzig for Munich.
