Chelsea have locked horns with Liverpool and Bayern Munich for RB Leipzig star Conrad Laimer, according to a report from Germany. The 25-year-old midfielder faces an increasingly uncertain future, with his contract at the Red Bull Arena set to expire at the end of the season.
According to Christian Falk of German outlet BILD, Jurgen Klopp's side have made contact with Laimer's entourage over a potential free transfer in the summer. The report states that the Blues are also interested in the Austria international, who has been likened to N'Golo Kante in the past.
However, it's believed that Bayern Munich are currently leading the race to sign the midfielder. According to Sky Sports, Manchester United were interested in Laimer during Ralf Rangnick's short-lived stint as head coach at Old Trafford and the Red Devils are yet to have been linked with the Austrian since Erik ten Hag's arrival.
