Konrad Laimer, a native of Austria, was born on the 27th of May 1997 and is currently racking up the seasons at the age of 27. This midfielder, renowned for his defensive prowess, currently graces the field for Bayern Munich, clad in the number 27 jersey. A robust figure, Laimer stands at 5 ft 10 in (1.79 m) tall and weighs around 10 st 9 lb (68 kg). His talent hasn't gone unnoticed within his homeland, as he's proudly represented the Austrian national team as well.
Fastidious football site Transfermarkt posits his market value at around €25.00m, which translates to approximately £21.5m. Laimer's contract with Bayern Munich currently threads towards its expiration on the 30th of June 2027, with 2 years and 5 months left on the clock.
Laimer's first foray into professional football began with Red Bull Salzburg in Austria's Bundesliga back in July 2013, a training ground for many of today's elite players. His time at Salzburg saw a consistent increase in first-team appearances, from a humble eight in the 2014 - 2015 season to a commendable 31 in the 2016 - 2017 season, showcasing his reliable presence in the midfield.
However, the allure of German football proved irresistible, and Laimer transferred to RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga for a reported £6m in July 2017. His stint at Leipzig further bolstered his reputation in the league, with repeated first-team appearances and a gradually increasing goal tally reaching a peak of four in the 2021 - 2022 season.
In July 2023, Laimer took another step up, transferring to the footballing goliaths of Bayern Munich. His tenure at Munich has been riddled with consistent first-team appearances, marked by 18 so far in the ongoing 2024 - 2025 season along with a single goal to his name.
Laimer isn't just orchestrating plays at the domestic level, his contributions at the international stage are significant as well. His participation in prestigious tournaments like the Champions League and the Euros, in addition to the Euro Qualifiers and the Nations League, underlines his stature as a top-tier footballer. Astoundingly, he's bagged goals in almost all these tournaments, validating his all-round utility on the pitch.
