Liverpool could move in for RB Leipzig’s in-demand midfielder Konrad Laimer with Jurgen Klopp on the hunt for late-window reinforcements to bolster his injury hit squad.
The Reds have as many as four first-team midfield names in Thiago Alcantara, Curtis Jones, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita on the sidelines with injury issues just three games into the new season.
According to a report from 90min, Liverpool have been keeping tabs on a few players in the transfer market that meet their demanding criteria with Klopp hoping to add a fresh face to his side before September 1’s deadline.
Leipzig’s 25-year-old Laimer, who has been subject to interest from Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich this summer, is a top name on Liverpool’s shopping list with the Austrian international out of contract at Leipzig in just 12 months.
There is a strong chance for Liverpool to snap up the player for a knockdown fee but Bayern’s entry into the mix could complicate matters on the transfer front for the Merseysiders who have five days until Thursday’s deadline to bring in new signings.
