Liverpool told £25M will land them available RB Leipzig midfielder Laimer

RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer is interesting Liverpool.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is in the market for a new midfield addition before the market shuts this week amid an injury crisis.

Kicker says Liverpool 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.

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."
