He's an RB product through and through - Liefering, Salzburg and Leipzig. We obviously like buying players schooled at RB - Mane, Keita, Konate (also our well reported interest in Werner and Caleta-Car). So I'm sure we have a detailed profile on this guy and know exactly the sort of player he is.
To me, I think he'd be a nice squad rotation type midfielder, a long-term Milner replacement if you will. He's super energetic, presses well, is comfortable with both feet and has no issues playing either LCM or RCM. Klopp will like that versatility. It'll be very plug and play, especially since the pressing style will be very familiar to him. He doesn't have a dominant physical profile, so I don't think he's going to be that commanding midfielder we all want. But given that we probably need 2 new midfielders over the next 12 months, he'd do for one of them.
The reason I think it might happen is that a deal should be relatively easy. Leipzig clearly want to sell, and Laimer clearly wants to leave to make the next step in his career. Bayern were interested for the best part of this summer, but Leipzig were playing hardball demanding €30 million. Bayern eventually called Leipzig's bluff and pulled out. But I'm quite certain Leipzig want to sell now than see him agree to a pre-contract in January. Something in the region of 20 million should definitely get it done.
