Konrad Laimer will leave RB Leipzig at the end of the season. This is reported by the specialist magazine “Kicker”. The Austrian national player is moving to German record champions Bayern Munich. Konrad Laimer is said to have already signed a contract. The specialist magazine did not provide any information about the length of the contract. As the midfielder’s contract expires in the summer, no transfer fee is due.
An agreement between Bayern and RB Leipzig is said to have existed for some time. Konrad Laimer has been allowed to negotiate with other clubs since January 1st. The midfielder (25) moved from Red Bull Salzburg to Leipzig in 2017. There he had already trained under the current Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann. Since the two know each other from times together, the trainer should also have been a reason for the step.
In the past few weeks, there have already been growing signs of a change. Laimer was already linked with a transfer to Bayern last summer. According to “Kicker”, Laimer’s commitment means that his compatriot Marcel Sabitzer will have to leave Munich after this season. After a strong start to the season, the Styrian is only a substitute.
