Liverpool are being linked with a move for RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer.
The Reds continue to be linked with a host of potential new midfielders as the transfer window edges closer to a conclusion. Injuries to key players in the middle of the park have led to an increased number of rumours over possible new signings.
One of those is Laimer, who is now being linked with a move to Liverpool. According to German news outlet Kicker, the Reds could make a move for the Austria international.

It has been claimed that Jurgen Klopp’s side are exploring the possibility of signing Laimer before the deadline this week. The report adds that, with the 25-year-old heading into the final year of his contract, a fee in the region of £25million has been quoted as a possible asking price.
A further report from Sky Sports Germany has provided more rumoured details on Laimer’s future. This time it concerns Bayern Munich, who have also been linked with the player.
All summer, Bayern have been credited with an interest in Laimer. However, this fresh report from the weekend has now suggested that the German champions are no longer looking at the Leipzig midfielder.
Leipzig chief Oliver Mintzlaff spoke about Laimer’s future last week, where he admitted that a move was possible. Despite this, he insisted it was unlikely the midfielder would be moving clubs this summer.
"I assume that Konny will stay. But the transfer window is still open and we're still holding a few conversations," Mintzlaff told the Leipziger Volkszeitung.
"The tendency is very, very large for him to stay with us."
