After signing Mathys Tel, Bayern are now going full throttle with Konrad Laimer. The transfer poker with RB Leipzig is in full swing. According to current media reports, everyone involved is confident that the deal will be completed in the coming days.
There are growing signs that Bayern will also get a chance at Konrad Laimer this summer. Munich have already agreed on a change with the Austrian. The agreement with RB Leipzig is still pending. As “Sky” reporter Florian Plettenberg reports, the two clubs might make the deal perfect during the week: “The transfer should still work. We’re hearing from all sides that this deal might well be finalized this week, possibly before the DFL Supercup.” he explained on Monday evening at “Transfer Update the Show”.
Will Bayern improve their offer once more?
According to reports, Bayern and Leipzig are seven million euros apart when it comes to the transfer fee. While Munich recently offered 23 million euros including bonus payments, the Saxons are demanding 30 million euros.
But it is also clear: RB does not want to lose the player for free. However, this is exactly the scenario that threatens if no agreement is reached with Bayern. Reason: Laimer is only contractually bound to Leipzig until 2023 and only wants to switch to the German record champions.
In addition, Leipzig might use the transfer income well, as they are currently working on a return campaign for Timo Werner. The German international is dissatisfied with his role at Chelsea and is flirting with a comeback with the cup winners.
