• ”I was very relaxed. I don’t read so much what is being written about me,” Bayern’s right-back added.
• German media reports said talks had dragged on for more than six months because Laimer and Bayern were far apart on salary expectations.
• The 29-year-old said speculation was “part of football,” noting “a lot comes from the outside and a lot is written about everything.”
