"Konrad Laimer has been a revelation for Bayern Munich. Brought in from RB Leipzig, the Austrian midfielder turned full-back has been as successful of a transfer as imaginable. The Austrian has been happy to play anywhere and has succeeded in every role asked of him thus far. Perhaps more so than ever though, the Austrian has elevated his game this season under Vincent Kompany's leadership."
"With a number of injuries afflicting the midfield and defense in 2025, Laimer was Bayern's duct tape solution as the Austrian was deployed in pretty much any squad gap and did an exceptional job wherever he was needed. Fast forward to today, as Bayern has recovered from some of its longer-term injury issues, Laimer has earned a starting role as a right-back."
"That's hard to say. He definitely helps us a lot. He has a clear plan for how we wants to play football and conveys it very well. He has a very good feel for when to push things a bit, because he senses when we're not quite switched on. It's a lot of fun to play under him, to learn how he sees the game and how he wants football to be,"
Konrad Laimer joined Bayern Munich from RB Leipzig and has excelled after converting from midfielder to full-back. Laimer has repeatedly filled multiple roles for Bayern during a 2025 injury crisis, performing reliably wherever deployed. As injuries eased, Laimer secured a starting position at right-back through consistent performances. Vincent Kompany's coaching has been credited with elevating Laimer's game by providing a clear tactical plan and a strong sense of when to push players. Kompany's shared experience at elite clubs helps him judge when to press or rest the squad. Early skepticism of Kompany's appointment is giving way to positive results.
