Liverpool given boost in race to sign Bundesliga star linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid: Reports

Reds set to rival Spanish giants for signature of Konrad Laimer

Liverpool have been handed a boost in their pursuit of RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer, with reports suggesting that the Austrian international is keen on a move to Anfield.

Laimer has been linked with a move to the Premier League for some time, with both Barcelona and Real Madrid also said to be interested in signing the 25-year-old.

However, according to German outlet Sport Bild, Laimer is now prioritizing a move to Liverpool, and is believed to have told Leipzig that he wants to join the Reds this summer.

Laimer's contract with Leipzig expires in 2023, and he is said to be keen to leave the Bundesliga club this summer in order to further his career.

Liverpool are in need of midfield reinforcements, with Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara, and James Milner all in their 30s.

Laimer would be a good addition to Jurgen Klopp's squad, as he is a versatile midfielder who can play in a number of positions.

He is a good passer of the ball, and is also strong in the tackle.

If Liverpool are able to sign Laimer, it would be a major coup for the club.

He is a talented player who would add quality and depth to Klopp's squad.
