Konrad Laimer's future has reportedly been decided as he approaches the end of his contract with RB Leipzig, with Bayern Munich tipped to sign the midfielder.
Set to become a free agent at the end of the current season, the 25-year-old looks set to depart Leipzig to take on a new challenge at a new club. Injury issues have prevented Laimer from making his mark this term, though he is expected to have recovered from his ankle issue by the time domestic action resumes after the World Cup.
Liverpool have been strongly linked with the Austrian international in recent weeks as Jurgen Klopp looks to bolster their midfield department as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Naby Keita edge closer to departing on free transfers.

In demand both in England and in Germany, BILD have claimed Laimer has now made up his mind over his next destination - and it's not good news for the Reds. It is stated he has already 'said no' to Chelsea and intends to sign for Bayern Munich upon the expiration of his current deal.
Bayern have developed somewhat of a reputation in recent years for poaching the best talents of sides within their division, weakening their respective title bids in the process. Borussia Dortmund have suffered the most in this department, losing the likes of Mario Gotze, Mats Hummels and Robert Lewandowski to their bitter rivals.
