Liverpool have suffered a blow in their bid to sign Konrad Laimer.
That's according to Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg, who reports the midfielder has decided to join Bayern Munich when his contract expires in the summer.
The Reds were said to have done 'major work' on Laimer during the summer as speculation grew regarding his current contract at RB Leipzig, which runs out at the end of the season. The Austrian decided against extending his stay back in June, with several clubs exploring the possibility of a pre-contract agreement over the winter.
