By Vatsal Vora Modified 12 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Konrad Laimer was on Liverpool's radar. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Liverpool were extremely keen on signing RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer in the recently-concluded summer transfer window. The Reds, however, struggled to seal the move towards the end of the window. According to Romano, negotiating a deal with RB Leipzig was close to impossible due to the limited days remaining in the summer transfer window. Had the Reds tried to sign Laimer earlier in the window, they might have managed to bring in the Austrian international.
