FC Bayern Munich is certain that they have reached an agreement on the transfer of Konrad Laimer, as 90min found out.

Bayern had already made an offer in the summer for the RB Leipzig midfielder, who is in the final year of his contract, but were unable to agree a transfer with the Red Bulls and instead brought in Ryan Gravenberch from Ajax.

Laimer has since been targeted by Liverpool in particular, but the Premier League club have now heard from players close to him that the Austrian actually wants to move to Munich. The 25-year-old, who has just recovered from a knee injury, was even upset that his move to Bayern in the summer fell through on the transfer fee.

90min has been told that while Laimer has mused about the interest from England in recent months, first from Manchester United and then Liverpool - his heart has always been set on a move to Bayern.

Now the Munich team believe that they are in agreement with him and will secure his services with a preliminary contract, so that he could move to Munich for five years free of charge in the summer.

For an early change in winter, the approval of Leipzig and a transfer fee would be required.

Laimer recently announced that "nothing has been decided yet" and that nothing is "excluded" with regard to his future - behind the scenes, however, everything speaks for a move to the Isar.

A strong performance that gives hope for more: The 1-1 draw against Spain in the analysis - with tactics guru Tobias Escher.
