FC Bayern and Konrad Laimer have agreed
to extend the Austria international’s contract until 30 June 2029. The 29-year-old defender has been playing for the Munich side since the 2023/24 season, during which time he’s won the Bundesliga twice, as well as the DFB Cup and German Supercup once each.

Christoph Freund, FC Bayern: sporting director: “We greatly value Konny’s versatility, passion and consistency. He consistently delivers on his qualities, season after season, game after game. He’s a role model because he never gives up on a ball, is constantly developing and is also a key figure in the dressing room.”
Konrad Laimer: “For me, it’s something very special to take to the pitch in the FC Bayern jersey. I’ve often emphasised how happy I am in Munich and that it’s great fun to play football in this team. I’ve felt that here from day one. I can help the team in many positions and want to continue giving my all for FC Bayern every single second. Anything is possible with this team, and I can’t wait for the season to start again.”
