FC Bayern is hard at work behind the scenes on the squad for the coming season. Despite the signing of Amsterdam midfield jewel Ryan Gravenberch, RB Leipzig’s Konrad Laimer remains on the German series champion’s shopping list. But the people of Munich are apparently still at the very beginning of a possible transfer.
According to media reports, Konrad Laimer is Julian Nagelsmann’s dream solution. Both have already worked together at RB Leipzig, the head coach “absolutely” wants to see the midfielder in the Bayern jersey, according to “Bild”.
According to the tabloid, the Austrian will cost 35 million euros by June 30 – that’s how high the exit clause in the working paper, which is valid until 2023, is. If Munich lets this deadline pass, free negotiations could be held with Leipzig and the price could ultimately drop, according to the possible transfer strategy of the record winner.
The theory is now supported by the “kicker”, according to which neither FC Bayern nor any other interested party has yet approached the Leipzig club management to talk about a change from Laimer. The 25-year-old himself has not yet approached the RB bosses with the desire for an immediate transfer, according to the specialist journal.
Another player for Bayern? RB Leipzig has to make a decision
Laimer only let the club know that he would not accept an offer to extend the contract. Leipzig is therefore faced with the decision of whether to generate transfer income with the top performer or part ways in the summer of 2023 without a fee.
Since the cup winner had already given three pillars to FC Bayern in the summer of 2021 with Nagelsmann, central defender Dayot Upamecano and captain Marcel Sabitzer, a Laimer transfer to the competition should not be the desired scenario, according to the “kicker”. However, such a deal is not ruled out.
