Jürgen Klopp has revealed that he tried to bring Konrad Laimer to Liverpool before the Austrian international joined Bayern Munich.

Back in 2023, Konrad Laimer left RB Leipzig to join Bayern Munich on a free transfer.

However, if Jürgen Klopp had his way, the 29-year-old Austria international would have moved to Liverpool instead.

“I wanted to bring him to Liverpool as a number six, but then he went to Bayern,” the former Liverpool head coach said in his role as a World Cup pundit for MagentaTV.

While Laimer has mostly been deployed as a full-back for Bayern, Klopp said he would have used him in a more central role.

“As for Laimer, I can say: in my team, he would play as a number six,” he added.

According to reports, Bayern and Laimer are close to agreeing a contract extension beyond 2027.
