"He feels comfortable in Munich. Why would he choose to go abroad for half a million or a million more, where he would first have to settle in and prove himself again? A professional for whom football is paramount likes to play for a club where everyone has fun and enjoys themselves, and where titles are won. You get all that at FC Bayern, and the quality of life in Munich isn't so bad either."
"Matthäus seems to be echoing a point made in last week's Weekend Warm-up - Laimer and Bayern are just better together - and Laimer is more valuable to Bayern Munich than he would be elsewhere. Will the two sides be able to get a deal done?

Konrad Laimer's absence coincided with Bayern Munich's worst performances in three or four matches. Laimer excels at right-back despite it not being his natural position and contributes significantly in attack. He pairs effectively with Michael Olise, forming a complementary duo reminiscent of Philipp Lahm and Arjen Robben. Laimer feels comfortable in Munich and faces little incentive to move abroad for a small salary increase that would require settling in anew. A professional prioritizing football prefers a club that fosters enjoyment and wins trophies, conditions Bayern provides along with a strong quality of life. Negotiations to secure his future remain unresolved.
