"The Austrian midfielder has seamlessly adapted to both full-back positions under Kompany. He has largely been used in the right-back position under Kompany in the last 18 months. However, the recent injury crisis in the left-back department has forced Kompany to use Laimer on the left side of the back four. The Austrian has not disappointed his head coach and delivered top performances in both full-back positions."
"Laimer was exceptional in the 4-0 win against Club Brugge at Allianz Arena on matchday three of the Champions League. He worked hard at both ends of the pitch at Allianz, chipping in with two assists. While talking to Sky Sports in Germany after the game, Laimer opened the doors to a contract extension at Bayern."
" I'm open to anything! I feel very comfortable here."
Bayern Munich’s attack has produced consistent output, helping the club win 12 consecutive games since August. Defenders and midfielders have bolstered defensive solidity and control. Konrad Laimer embodies Vincent Kompany’s required intensity in possession and out of it. Laimer has filled both full-back roles, mainly at right-back for the past 18 months, and has stepped in at left-back during an injury crisis while maintaining high performance levels. He provided two assists in a 4-0 Champions League win over Club Brugge and expressed openness to a contract extension. Laimer’s deal runs until 2027, Bayern view him as a long-term player, and he joined from RB Leipzig in 2023 on a free transfer, making 101 appearances.
