Report: Tottenham, Manchester United to battle over RB Leipzig midfielder

By Eddie Razo -

This summer, Tottenham Hotspur will be looking at players to see who can fill the midfield role on the squad for next season. The north London club will be looking at various candidates, and one of them is RB Leipzig Konrad Laimer.

According to German outlet Bild, Tottenham and Manchester United have identified the 24-year-old as a target. Laimer is primarily a defensive midfielder but can also function in a more advanced role.

Leipzig will be looking to sell the Austria international this summer considering he can leave in 2023 on a free transfer, so if an offer comes that is suitable, the Bundesliga side won’t turn it down. 

The report adds that Laimer impressed Spurs’ hierarchy with his performances in Leipzig’s 4-0 aggregate win over Spurs in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 in 2020.

Since arriving at Leipzig in 2017, he has made 149 appearances, scoring 11 goals and recording 16 assists for the German club.

It’s all smoke and mirrors. He doesn’t actually bid against anyone though – he might win and have to shell out a load of money!

On the contrary. He loves being in the imaginary mix. Bit like when Bruno The Rat went to Utd or Hazard to Chelsea or countless other transfers we didn’t sign . Levy knows he cannot win but it appeases thousands of fans who are hoodwinked in to thinking we are competing with the big boys.

😂 But on a serious note, I read their fans were booing pochettino AFTER their 5-1 win. Their fans sound unforgiving.

Why would he go to PSG? Besides Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, Marquinhos, Donarumma, Kimpembe, Ramos, Hakimi, DiMaria, Draxler, Verratti, Wijnaldum, Bernat, Icardi, Kurzawa, Diallo, Navas, Herrera, Gueye, Paredes, Kehrer who do they have that’s any good?

I’ve read that an Italian journalist is claiming Conte has been having informal talks with PSG. Wouldn’t be entirely surprised if true.

Tanguy in town today. Should be a good day for the nearest Nando’s to London Stadium.

So if he impressed us in 2020,why is he still at Leipzig and not pulling up trees with us.

Like Levy would compete with Utd over a transfer! He’d run a mile screaming like a baby at the thought of having to up a bid.
