Sky reports that the signing and official announcement are expected soon.

Since joining Bayern from RB Leipzig in 2023, the Austrian international has established himself as a vital player, particularly excelling as a versatile right-back. In the past season, Laimer played in 47 competitive matches for Bayern, contributing three goals and nine assists. Negotiations for the extension reportedly spanned over six months, with initial disagreements over salary expectations noted by club officials earlier in the season.
We want to extend with Konni, that is a fact. Now we have to find a bridge somehow regarding the expectations.
