Klopp Reveals Attempt to Sign Austrian International for Liverpool

Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has revealed he attempted to sign Konrad Laimer during his tenure at the English club, prior to the Austrian international joining Bayern Munich.

In 2023, Laimer departed RB Leipzig as a free agent to sign with the Bavarian giants.

"I wanted to bring him to Liverpool, but he went to Bayern," Klopp stated while working as a commentator for MagentaTV during the World Cup.

According to German media reports, Konrad Laimer and Bayern Munich are close to agreeing on a contract extension beyond 2027.

The 29-year-old Laimer started Austria's first two matches at the World Cup in North America.
