Liverpool look set to lose out in the race for RB Leipzig 's Konrad Laimer, who has his sights set on a move to Bayern Munich.
The midfielder is the latest man to be identified by those at Anfield as they eye reinforcements in the middle of the park. The Reds made enquiries in the latter stages of the summer with the player's contract running out at the end of the current campaign.
Leipzig had looked to tie Laimer down to an improved deal, but the Austrian has no desire to extend his stay with the Red Bull outfit and can sign a pre-contract come January. Bayern have put an offer, that lasts until 2027, on the table as Julian Nagelsmann looks to raid his former side once more.
