Konrad Laimer towers over RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga and Europa League.
Will FC Bayern Munich soon have access?
Julian Nagelsmann raves about the Austrian's footballing quality.
Munich/Leipzig – Konrad Laimer's conviction was literally written all over his face when RB Leipzig won 2-0 at Atalanta Bergamo in the Europa League.
The 24-year-old Austrian led the way with body language and led the Saxons to the semi-finals in the second leg in Lombardy after the 1-1 draw in Leipzig.
An expression of his outstanding condition was his pass rate in northern Italy.
Because: This was a whopping 100 percent.
Konrad Laimer: RB Leipzig star plays in the focus of FC Bayern
Best value and grade 1 for the favorite student of FCB coach Julian Nagelsmann.
The 34-year-old from Upper Bavaria and Salzburg worked together between 2019 and 2021 for the rival of the German Bundesliga record champions*.
Nagelsmann respectfully called the aggressive leader in midfield a "monster ball conquering machine".
An old bond that will soon bring you back together on Säbener Straße in Munich*?
The
kicker
writes at least of an alleged Bavarian interest in the man who has scored three goals in the last five Bundesliga games and prepared two more goals.

But: will Bayern get competition from Borussia Dortmund again?
After the transfers of Nico Schlotterbeck (SC Freiburg) and Munich-born Karim Adeyemi (Red Bull Salzburg) to Westphalia are imminent according to media reports from
Sky
and the
picture , according to
Sky
, BVB should
also try to find Laimer.
The West Germans are therefore looking for a “real six” in defensive midfield.
It is a requirement profile that applies to Laimer.
As
Sky
continues, the Dortmunders are said to have also targeted Xaver Schlager from VfL Wolfsburg - and thus another Austrian.

Does Laimer's homeland now make the decisive difference?
The soccer player is a testimonial for the tourist region of Salzburger Land.
On YouTube, for example, he says in an advertising video: "Dear Winter, there's nothing nicer than coming home when you're there.
I'm looking forward to it: to the glittering snow, to the magnificent mountains and to consciously feeling the landscape.
And I think of all the beautiful memories I had during my childhood with my family and you.
I can't wait to see you again."
Konrad Laimer to FC Bayern?
Home Salzburg could be the deciding factor
His enthusiasm for Salzburg and the surrounding area is literally tangible in the YouTube video from last October.
And: The state capital of the same name with around 150,000 inhabitants is only around two hours' drive away via the German A8 motorway from Säbener in the Bavarian Isar metropolis.
In addition, there is the good relationship with Nagelsmann.
Laimer and FC Bayern?
There are undoubtedly arguments in favor of such a scenario.
