Konrad Laimer, born on 27 May 1997 (age 29), is an Austrian defensive midfielder with Bayern Munich, where he wears number 27. His game has been built around energy, pressing and covering ground rather than decoration, which is usually a sensible enough arrangement for everyone involved.
His most productive league season came at RB Leipzig in 2021-2022, when he scored four goals in 26 appearances. That spell helped establish him as a reliable Bundesliga operator before his move to Bayern, where the demands are less forgiving and the squad depth tends to make even good players look expendable if they stand still for five minutes.
In 2026-2027, Laimer remains a first-team presence at Bayern. He has made two Bundesliga appearances, along with one in the DFL-Supercup and one in the Champions League, taking him to four appearances across all competitions so far this season. His market value is around £21.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
He has also stayed involved with Austria, making eight appearances in European World Cup qualifying and scoring twice, as well as four World Cup appearances. His career to this point is that of a durable, established midfielder who has moved from being a productive figure at Leipzig to a useful part of Bayern’s current squad.
