Bundesliga’s top-scorer is willing to make a move to the UCL champions.
He looks set to reject all other offers for Liverpool.
Timo Werner, looks set to move this summer after four seasons with RB Leipzig – where he has established himself as one of Europe’s best young forwards. Liverpool appear to be the frontrunners for his signature, with near-daily reports predicting that the 23-year-old is ultimately Anfield-bound.
A deal could even be wrapped up by mid-March according to the latest talk, but there is debate over the value of his release clause, while the Reds aren’t the only team interested. According to The​ Athletic, Liverpool are still weighing up an approach for Werner, with Jurgen Klopp ‘considering his attacking options for next season’.​
While the ​Reds have a stable, prime-age front three – all unlikely to move this summer – it is said that the scheduling of the Olympics and Africa Cup of Nations (which could involve both Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane) during the 2020/21 season may make the club more open to recruiting further ‘competition’ in attack.
In addtion, Werner has received proposals from both Barcelona and Manchester United, but as per the report, the German player is holding out for a Reds move.
