Konrad Laimer 'says no' to transfer as midfielder decides next destination amid Liverpool rumours

Set to become a free agent at the end of the current season, the 25-year-old looks set to depart Leipzig to take on a new challenge at a new club. Injury issues have prevented Laimer from making his mark this term, though he is expected to have recovered from his ankle issue by the time domestic action resumes after the World Cup.

Liverpool have been strongly linked with the Austrian international in recent weeks as Jurgen Klopp looks to bolster their midfield department as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Naby Keita edge closer to departing on free transfers.
