Liverpool could sign Konrad Laimer this summer after blunt Uli Hoeneß statement – opinion

But that’s still a massive shame considering the quality of service Laimer has provided, particularly in the absence of a starting right-back this term.

Liverpool should consider swoop for Laimer this summer

While fans would be right to point out that Laimer (29) isn’t exactly the ideal age profile Liverpool tend to favour, he would bring a level of consistency and availability to the position that has been missing.

Conor Bradley is, without question, a remarkable operator on his day, but finds himself frequently battling injuries. Jeremie Frimpong, likewise, has his own reliability concerns, and there are question marks over whether the right-back position is even well-suited to the Dutchman long-term.

The attraction with Konrad Laimer is multi-faceted for Liverpool. He’s positionally versatile, for starters, being able to play at right-back and in the middle of the park – two areas in which we might find ourselves short on at times next season.

He’s one of the most creative presences on the pitch and has proved to be a key figure for Kompany’s men this term, despite largely playing at right-back.

And don’t forget that Laimer has previously sat on a shortlist at Liverpool.

Laimer’s wage demands will be a stumbling block

The big stumbling block, of course, will be the Bayern star’s significant wage demands.

The lower end of the scale at £10.3m per year would see Laimer clear Andy Robertson (£8.3m), Ibrahima Konate (£7.8m) and Jeremie Frimpong (£5.2m), according to Capology’s figures.

But if FC Bayern are looking to sell the fullback, perhaps he and his team could start to feel comfortable with the prospect of reducing such demands to meet the minimum bar of entry at a club like Liverpool.

While Bayern insider Christian Falk made clear recently that Liverpool weren’t ‘concretely interested’ in Laimer, we still think this could be one to watch.
