Bayern Munich is leading the race to sign RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer, with Liverpool and Chelsea also interested.
Laimer’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season so that he could leave Leipzig in the near future.
The Austrian international is attracting interest from European clubs, which is understandable given that he will be available on a free transfer.
As seen in the tweet below, journalist Christian Falk claims that Liverpool and Chelsea are interested in signing the midfielder.
Falk has claimed, however, that Bayern Munich is leading the race to sign him, and this has now been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside via his Substack column.
“At the moment, Bayern Munich is leading the race to sign him. Julian Nagelsmann wanted him in 2021 and in 2022 and he’s pushing for Laimer as a priority in 2023. English clubs have been in touch with his agent but it’s still early stages,” said Romano.
A move to Bayern Munich would make a lot of sense for Laimer. The German giants hold a lot of power in the Bundesliga and can often sign any top player from the majority of clubs in the league.
Liverpool may be able to offer Laimer a more regular place in the starting eleven, but as it stands, it appears Bayern is leading the race.
