RB Leipzig midfielder and Manchester United summer target Konrad Laimer open to Premier League move
Manchester United summer 2022 target Konrad Laimer is open to a move to the Premier League from RB Leipzig in the coming transfer windows, according to 90min (h/t Manchester Evening News).
The Austria international was pursued by the Red Devils earlier this year. However, the 25-year-old was keen on moving to Bayern Munich instead.
However, a deal did not materialise for Laimer in the summer and he ended up staying at the Red Bull Arena. Now, the player and his agent are willing to make their way to the English top flight. with Liverpool keeping an eye on the Austrian.
United wanted to bolster the middle of the park in the recent transfer window. And the Red Devils did so with the signings of Christian Eriksen and Casemiro.
The Danish and Brazilian stars have both been impressive in their short time in Manchester up until now. The two 30-year-olds have had an immediate impact on the team.
Eriksen has found his place in the number eight position. The Danish national has taken some fans by surprise with his quality. The Old Trafford crowd did not expect the former Tottenham Hotspur star to be as crucial as he has been this season.
Casemiro, on the other hand, did not have as fast a start to his United career as Eriksen. The Brazilian was kept out of the starting lineup for some time by Scott MvTominay, who was performing well.
However, since his first start against Everton at Goodison Park, the 30-year-old has showcased why he had been one of the best in the world during his time at Real Madrid.
