But someone has the kettle on…
Leipzig boss Oliver Mintzlaff (46) leathered properly against FC Bayern before the test match between Leipzig and Liverpool. At ServusTV he explained: “I hope that Bayern will find other ideas and not always get our players.”
Trigger: Bayern’s interest in Konrad Laimer (25)!

According to information from BILD and SPORT BILD, Munich have made another offer for the midfielder – 23 million euros including bonuses. But Leipzig is still not enough. RB demands 30 million euros – in one fell swoop, without paying in installments.
After Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Sabitzer, it would be the third top performer to move from Leipzig to Munich.
Mintzlaff makes it clear: “Konny is extremely important for our game, so we don’t want to lose him. We sit in the driver seat, when we do things, they have to go the way we want them to.”

The Austrian midfielder’s contract expires next summer. If RB still wants to collect coal, Laimer has to be sold this summer. According to Mintzlaff, however, it is also an option for Laimer to leave on a free transfer in 2023.
The RB boss: “It’s also possible that we keep him and go into a final year of the contract and sometimes don’t get a fee.”
According to BILD information, Ösi has long since agreed on a contract with Bayern and wants a quick decision so as not to come to Munich in August and without preparation at the new club.
RB has internally set the Supercup next week as a deadline for a decision. RB coach Domenico Tedesco (36) also wants planning security.
Bayern’s reaction? Herbert Hainer (68) grins at SPORT BILD: “It’s just that many players want to go to Bayern Munich. And if anyone wants to, we’d be happy to take a look…”
The Leipzig team lost the friendly against Jürgen Klopp’s FC Liverpool 5-0. Laimer came on after 60 minutes. Outstanding man: Liverpool newcomer Darwin Nunez. He scored four goals (48th/51st/68th/89th), superstar Mo Salah scored the opening goal (8th).
