RB Leipzig is playing an outstanding second half of the season, again Bayern could grab a professional from Saxony.
He recently refrained from a clear commitment to RB.
Leipzig – The defeat of FC Bayern Munich* in Mainz on Saturday was not very important for the established champions.
But due to the missed points, RB Leipzig* also consolidated first place in the second half of the table in front of Munich before their Monday evening game in Gladbach.
The team, coached by Domenico Tedesco since Matchday 15, has shone in the last few weeks and months and scored a whopping 32 points in the previous 14 games of the second half.
A few RB top performers are therefore also in the focus of the competition this year.
FC Bayern should also look to Saxony again.
Konrad Laimer |
Born: May 27, 1997 in Salzburg (Austria) |
Position: Center Midfield |
Previous stations: RB Salzburg, FC Liefering, RB Leipzig |
Contract in Leipzig: until 2023 |
FC Bayern: Konrad Laimer is in the focus of several clubs – FCB is interested
In eleventh place in the table, Tedesco took over the unsettled Champions League * participant and is now about to refine a season that was thought lost.
In the league, RB is playing for the premier class places, and the club still has a chance of winning the title in both the Europa League and the DFB Cup.
The revival of offensive power by Tedesco is possible primarily through supporting pillars in the team.
Top scorer Christopher Nkunku arouses desires in several top clubs, and the Frenchman should also be an issue in Munich.
But central midfielder Konrad Laimer is also in demand.
The Austrian is symbolic of the Leipzig upswing after the change of coach. In the past few weeks, Laimer has not only shone with strong performances, but also contributed important goals and preparations.
In the 4-1 win in Dortmund in early April, he impressively demonstrated his recent development with a brace and an assist.
Laimer's steady improvement by no means went unnoticed, because as reported by
Kicker
, the native of Salzburg is very popular with top-class clubs.

FC Bayern: Laimer is also an issue in Munich – Julian Nagelmann is a big fan
Not only BVB, whom he defeated almost single-handedly, is said to be interested in the Leipzig midfielder, according to the report, FC Bayern should also be watching the 20-time Austrian national player.
Laimer is also not unknown abroad, so he is also associated with the two English clubs Liverpool FC* and Tottenham Hotspur.
What's next for Laimer in Leipzig is also still open, his contract runs until the summer of 2023. "At the moment I'm really only concentrating on our games and nothing else.
We'll see what happens in the summer," said the RB professional recently about his future, avoiding a clear positioning.
A move to Munich would not be a big surprise given the previous transfer flows from Leipzig to FC Bayern.
The record champions already grabbed the RB stars Dayot Upamecano * and Marcel Sabitzer as well as head coach Julian Nagelsmann and his coaching team for the current season.
The FCB trainer is also an outspoken fan of Laimer, whom he described as a "monster ball conquest machine".
In the summer, the machine could well be reunited with the ex-Leipzig coach.
