On May 2nd, Bundesliga Round 32, Bayern Munich 3-3 Heidenheim. After the match, Bayern's sporting director Eberl was interviewed.
Talking about contract renewal negotiations with Laimer, Eberl said: "The two sides are indeed communicating and have their own ideas, but no agreement has been reached yet. But that's okay, there are no unpleasantness or conflicts, just different positions. Next, it depends on whether we can find a common ground."
When asked if Laimer must renew his contract to avoid leaving on a free transfer in 2027, he said: "He joined on a free transfer in the first place, so even if that happens, we won't lose too much."
