“The announcement is close.” The German champion secures the future of his star

Bayern Munich right-back Konrad Leimer, 29, is close to signing a new contract with the German champions, a move that confirms his continued career at Bayern despite entering his fourth decade, with just a few simple details remaining to finalize the deal.

According to German specialist magazine Kicker, negotiations between the two sides have reached their final stage and there are only minor details yet to be decided, suggesting that an official extension announcement is in the coming days or weeks.

Laimer is currently under contract with Bayern Munich until June 2027 and is expected to continue his career at Bayern barring unforeseen circumstances, especially after the exceptional season he has had with the Bayern side.

Laimer, who previously played for RB Leipzig before moving to Bayern Munich, was a standout for the German champions last season, scoring three goals and providing 13 assists in 47 appearances in all competitions, making him one of Europe’s most popular right-back playmakers.

Leimer’s attacking numbers are exceptional for a defensive player, as he directly contributed to 16 goals in one season, underscoring his tactical importance in Bayern Munich’s system, which relies on the full-backs’ involvement in attack.
