A player Liverpool tried to sign in the summer transfer window admitted his admiration for the Reds, while a midfielder joined the club on trial.
“I’ve always been a Liverpool fan”
Liverpool are said to have made a move for RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer towards the end of the transfer window.
Last month, Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg revealed a permanent move had been made for the Austrian and while it was “impossible” at the time, “they are still interested” before his contract expires on July 1.
And if a new offer is made for Laimer, who will be available on a free transfer, they could bring in a player who recently expressed admiration for the club.
“I have always been a Liverpool fan,” he told ServusTV this week, in quotes published by BILD.
Laimer is currently sidelined with an ankle ligament injury that required surgery and is expected to keep him out for at least another 10 weeks, with the 25-year-old hoping to “strike again in January”.
It will be an important period for a player who, according to Plettenberg, is “very unlikely” to sign a new contract with Leipzig.
Bayern Munich are also interested in the Austrian international, explaining: “In the end, I would have been ready to take a new step. [in the summer].
“It didn’t work because Leipzig didn’t get the go-ahead. They quickly said: no, that is not possible.”
Could the Reds capitalize on his contract situation next year?
