After Marcel Sabitzer last summer, did FC Bayern strengthen again with a midfielder from RB Leipzig?

Apparently, a transfer from Konrad Laimer to Munich has become less likely.

In

, RBL Managing Director Oliver Mintzlaff again comments on a possible change in the central driver.

“We are in good talks.

The player and we can imagine that we will go into the last year of the contract together without an extension.

Does that mean that Bayern Munich can make up for a change of the 25-year-old?

There is another thesis: This could possibly be an announcement by Leipzig to further increase the fee for Laimer.

The Bundesliga rivals are reportedly demanding a sum of at least 30 million euros for the international, while FCB are said to be offering less.

However, there is still time: The Bundesliga transfer window closes on August 31st.

FC Bayern before Laimer transfer?

Leipzig boss announces "prompt decision".

Update from July 30, 10 p.m.:

Will Leipzig’s Konrad Laimer switch to Bayern this summer?

A decision on a transfer should be made in the coming days.

RB managing director Oliver Mintzlaff announced "a timely decision" before the Supercup duel against Bayern on Sat1.

"There is no Basta from me here, neither in one direction nor in the other." The longer this drags on, the more difficult it becomes to do it.

“Of course we talked about Konrad Laimer.

At the moment there is nothing to say about it," said Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn.

"We'll have to wait and see how things develop." The Bavarians should already be in agreement with Laimer, the only thing still lacking is an agreement on the transfer with the Leipzig team.

First report from July 30th:

Munich – In the days before the DFL Supercup between RB Leipzig and FC Bayern (live on the ticker and on TV), there was renewed tension between the two clubs.

The main concern is a possible transfer from Leipzig's Konrad Laimer, who is still very popular with Munich.

RB managing director Oliver Mintzlaff was carried away in the run-up to a tip in the direction of Bayern bosses when he said he hoped “that Bayern would find other ideas and not always get our players”.

Both coaches have now commented on Laimer.

Nagelsmann comments on a possible Laimer transfer: "Decisive what a player wants"

The Austrian would not be the first top-class player to opt for a transfer from Leipzig to Munich after Julian Nagelsmann's move.

Dayot Upamecano, Marcel Sabitzer as well as the coaching team and the video analyst have already changed sides with Nagelsmann, which caused displeasure at RB.

The coach spoke at the press conference before the Supercup duel on Saturday evening about the current status at Laimer.

“Basically, what matters is what a player wants.

We still have the healthy conditions that a player always first expresses a wish where he wants to go - and not the other way around," said the Munich head coach.

Laimer publicly expressed his desire not to extend his contract in Leipzig, which expires in 2023, weeks ago.

Leipzig coach Tedesco: "The longer it drags on..."

So Nagelsmann felt compelled to correct the wrong impression at the press conference.

"It's not like Bayern Munich calling everyone and saying no matter what the player wants, he'll come to us now.

It's also about a person's wish," says the 35-year-old.

Domenico Tedesco also commented.

His counterpart Domenico Tedesco also spoke about his central midfielder with regard to the game, which he expressly described as a Leipzig player.

"And as long as there is nothing else, he has my full support," said Tedesco on Thursday.

"The longer this drags on, the more difficult it becomes to do it."

According to reports, the people of Leipzig have already rejected two offers for Laimer, it is apparently only about the transfer fee.

RB Leipzig continues to insist on a payment of 30 million euros.

The transfer window is open until August 31, so theoretically Bayern still have a month.
