Overview
- Laimer formally signed a contract extension in early August that keeps the 29-year-old Austria international at Bayern Munich until the summer of 2029.
- The player said he always wanted to stay at the club and described periods of limited contact during talks as normal business that never made him doubt his future in Munich.
- Under Kompany Laimer has become a utility player who can operate at right-back, left-back and in holding midfield, and he said he is ready to play wherever the manager needs him.
- The deal comes as Laimer returns from the 2026 World Cup, where Austria reached the Round of 32, and ahead of Bayern's season-opening Supercup against Borussia Dortmund.
- Bayern gain continuity and depth from keeping a trusted, versatile performer, and the club will now decide how to deploy Laimer as they prepare for the new league campaign.
