Jürgen Klopp stated on MagentaTV that he wanted to bring Konrad Laimer to Liverpool as a number six in 2023, and revealed that Laimer ultimately chose to join FC Bayern Munich.

Liverpool was prepared to offer approximately 40 million euros for Konrad Laimer, but Bayern Munich reportedly refused to enter into talks. The German club would only be willing to negotiate if the midfielder expressed a desire to leave, which has not occurred so far. Contract negotiations between Laimer and Bayern have not progressed, with the main issue reportedly being salary.
