The change is no longer a surprise. During the winter break, Bayern tried to get the ÖFB team player away from Leipzig six months before his contract ended. Because the Bundesliga competitor refused an early sale, Laimer is now moving on a free transfer in the summer.
Leipzig’s new sports director Max Eberl denied before the Bundesliga game against Schalke that the change had already been firmly agreed. “I can’t confirm that,” said Eberl on Sky. He is in constant contact with Laimer and his management, who recently assured him that nothing had been decided yet. “After that there was no further conversation.” But since January 1, Leipzig has only been a passenger: Six months before the end of their contract, professionals can officially negotiate with other clubs without the knowledge of the club they are playing for. There is said to have been agreement on the contract terms at Bayern for a long time.
Nagelsmann’s dream player
Laimer moved from Salzburg to Leipzig in 2017 and had already trained there under the current Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann. Even now, the coach is said to have been a reason for Salzburg’s move. The appreciation is mutual: Laimer is considered Nagelsmann’s dream player.
The change could affect an ÖFB teammate. According to “kicker” it means that Marcel Sabitzer could leave Bayern in the summer. The 28-year-old has time in the spring to make himself indispensable in Munich.
