# Liverpool: Reds plotting 2023 swoop for Konrad Laimer

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) are considering a move to sign RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer in 2023, according to reports in the last 48 hours.**

### The Lowdown: Bayern move falls through

The Austrian’s contract with the Bundesliga giants is set to [expire](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rasenballsport-leipzig/berateruebersicht/verein/23826) at the end of the season, and despite having agreed personal terms with Bayern Munich over the summer, the two parties [failed](https://www.90min.com/posts/konrad-laimer-ready-listen-premier-league-offers) to complete a deal before the deadline.

The Reds were credited with a late [interest](https://www.90min.com/posts/liverpool-continuing-search-for-late-window-midfield-reinforcements) in the 25-year-old in the previous window, and it sounds like they are once again weighing up the possibility of bringing him to the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) next year.

### The Latest: Liverpool eyeing Laimer

According to [90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/konrad-laimer-ready-listen-premier-league-offers), Liverpool monitoring Laimer still ‘remains the case’, with the maestro under the ‘serious consideration’ of FSG ahead of a January approach.

The [24](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/konrad-laimer/nationalmannschaft/spieler/223967)-cap international and his representatives are claimed to be ‘open to all options’, which include a ‘possible move’ to England.

He is currently recovering from an ankle injury, though ‘is expected’ to be ready to be thrown into action following the conclusion of the World Cup.

### The Verdict: Melo replacement

Arthur Melo is set to be [sidelined](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/liverpools-injury-list-suspensions-and-availability) for the foreseeable future and so Laimer, an ‘[unsung hero](https://twitter.com/buntingfootball/status/1264564333536780288?s=46&t=6bBAcYmPPbSDWgxHffjFjw)’ according to journalist [Josh Bunting](https://twitter.com/Buntingfootball), would be the perfect replacement.

The Austria star is a real creative spark in the centre, having racked up [18](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/konrad-laimer/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/223967) assists and 11 goals during his time at Leipzig, alongside averaging 2.8 tackles and 1.8 dribbles per league game ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/248010/Show/Konrad-Laimer)).

The 5 foot 9 talisman could be available on a cut-price deal given his contract situation, and Liverpool need to act fast if they want to capitalise and lure their target to Anfield.
