Laimer, who is out of contract with Leipzig, has put pen to paper to sign a contract with the German champions until 2027.
"We are delighted to have signed Konrad Laimer. He comes to us as a two-time DFB Cup winner - and together we will now hopefully celebrate many more great victories and titles here at FC Bayern," commented FC Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen.
Konrad Laimer himself described the move to the Allianz Arena as "a dream come true".
"FC Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I will give everything for the club and the fans. FC Bayern always has the highest goals - just like me. I'm in the right place here. I'm only capable of giving 100 per cent, and that's what I'll put into every training session from day one. I can hardly wait."
The 26-year-old defensive midfielder joined Leipzig from Salzburg in 2017. He made a total of 190 competitive appearances in a Leipzig shirt with 15 goals and 19 assists to his name.
