Laimer said of the transfer that it was “a dream come true” for him: “FC Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I will give everything for the club and the fans. FC Bayern always have the highest goals – just like me: I’m in the right place here. I only exist with 100 percent and I will bring that into every training session from day one. I can barely wait for it.”

Jan-Christian Dreesen, new CEO of FC Bayern and successor to Oliver Kahn, said: “We are delighted to have signed Konrad Laimer. He comes to us as the new, old DFB Cup winner – and together we will hopefully celebrate many more great victories and titles here at FC Bayern.”

FC Bayern’s Laimer just ahead of the top 10 record players in RB Leipzig

Laimer had long emphasized that he was keeping all options open, but also confirmed at the end of November that there were no talks with Leipzig. Sports director Max Eberl, on the other hand, had cautiously prepared the RB fans for the departure of the “eights”, who came from Salzburg in 2017 for 7 million euros. In the past five and a half years, Laimer has played 190 times for the “Red Bulls” (15 goals/19 assists). The transfer was initiated by ex-Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann, under whom the professional was on the field 46 times in Leipzig. But successor Thomas Tuchel also spoke out in favor of Laimer as a new signing after his arrival.
