Major blow for Liverpool as midfield target reaches "verbal agreement" with another club

Liverpool have been handed a massive transfer blow as it has been reported that Konrad Laimer will be joining Bayern Munich on a free transfer.

The Reds have been linked to many midfielders in recent weeks as it is an area they are desperate to strengthen.

"He is on the verge to join Bayern"

"I know we have had this discussion since it all started. I am the one who said we don’t need a midfielder, and you were all right and I was wrong. That’s the situation. But the specific point doesn’t change — we will do something but it has to be the right one.

“We are actually working constantly on these things, sometimes [a possible transfer is] too expensive, sometimes not the right player, sometimes the situation changes. We are working and will see if something will happen or not. I don’t know.

“We are looking and if it is the right player we need him, and if it is not the right player we don’t need him. We will not change how we deal with the situation so there is nothing for me to say to you in this moment. We will see.”
