Konrad Laimer responds to Uli Hoeneß's criticism with humor

After Bayern secured the "double" with a 3-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal final, midfielder Konrad Laimer spoke to journalists in high spirits. Although the Austrian player missed the dressing room celebrations due to a long stay in the doping control room, he responded humorously to the situation involving honorary president Uli Hoeneß. This is reported by Goal.com .

Previously, Uli Hoeneß had openly criticized Laimer's salary demands ahead of the Champions League semi-final, stating that while he values him highly, he is "not Maradona." Reports suggest the 28-year-old wants to increase his current €10 million salary to €15 million. Laimer commented: "Uli and I have always been on the same page, that's not a problem. I haven't asked for anything yet, but we'll see how things develop."

The player expressed that he feels happy at the Munich club and intends to win many more trophies with the team. While contract extension negotiations are ongoing, he did not provide specific details on when a new deal might be signed. "Everything changes quickly in football. Maybe I'll sign tomorrow, maybe after the World Cup," the midfielder added.

At the end of the interview, Konrad Laimer joked about his potential financial demands. "Maybe we'll win the World Cup with the Austria national team — then my price will go up even more," the Bayern star quipped.
