FC Bayern is the favorite for a transfer from Leipzig star Konrad Laimer: FC Chelsea and FC Liverpool will probably go away empty-handed.
Of the FC Bayern already vied intensely for Konrad Laimer last summer. Ultimately, despite the player’s request to change, they refrained from a transfer, as there is a chance of striking for free in the summer of 2023. There should also be interest in the Austrian from the Premier League. Nevertheless, everything still speaks for a move to Munich.
If you take a look at Bayern’s midfield, you have to ask yourself where on earth Konrad Laimer is going to fit in? Kimmich and Goretzka are set, which is why a strengthened Sabitzer ultimately had no chance of staying in the starting eleven, but has become a very important role player. Accordingly, youngster Ryan Gravenberch hardly has any playing time. This is a bit dramatic because the Dutchman is one of the greatest midfield talents in Europe. So you don’t want to think about what will happen if Konrad Laimer is also part of the Bayern squad.
Liverpool and Chelsea on Laimer: Bayern remain favorites
At the moment, however, it looks as if that is exactly what will happen. Christian Falk tweeted on Wednesday that Bayern continue to lead the race for Laimer. That’s not surprising, especially since the Leipzig star decided months ago for Munich. According to the head of sports IMAGE are the Liverpool FC and the Chelsea FC still interested in a transfer, but the player still has B options. Most recently, media even reported that Liverpool left poker because the club considered the battle for the player lost.
The Laimer affair still has an opportunity to take a turnaround. The Austrian should see for himself that the chances of playing time at FC Bayern are currently worse than at LFC or the Blues. Of course, we don’t know whether there isn’t already a verbal agreement between Bayern and Laimer regarding a summer change in 2023.
