Timo Werner has generated a lot of interest in Liverpool for a while and the fact that he’s willing to move abroad makes chances better for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
For Werner, a move overseas makes more sense to him than joining Bayern – and here’s why.
“Bayern are a great club, we don’t need to talk about it, and Hansi Flick has proven this season he is a really good head coach,” Werner told Bild.
“But if a move were to become an issue at some point, I would be more tempted by a move abroad than a move to Bayern.
“It’s just that the challenge of another league would appeal to me a little more than a move within the Bundesliga.
“Of course, it also important that mutual respect is there as much as possible. That’s why I chose RB Leipzig at the time, and why I would choose the club for [the] next step as one where I would get that feeling.”
Werner had almost signed with Bayern at the end of his 2019-29 RB Leipzig contract. However, he turned Bayern down and chose to extend his contract with Leipzig – a full 3 years.Â
“I can’t answer what motivated Bayern back then,” he said.
“I am happy and satisfied that I extended my contract here and played in Leipzig this season.
“In my eyes I have developed further under Julian Nagelsmann and have matured as a personality and taken on more responsibility.
“I am totally grateful for that. I really appreciate what I have at RB Leipzig and would therefore never say:Â ‘I have to get out of here!'”
