Liverpool might not have made the best decision in letting Timo Werner go, according to Noel Whelan.
The former Leeds United forward explained to Football Insider just how reasonably priced Werner is in the current market conditions.
Apparently the Reds were hesitant to pay Werner’s £53 million release clause which prompted Chelsea to push ahead get a deal in place with the player. Now, an official statement is pending with the club and player having agreed personal terms.
David Maddock of the Mirror also reported that Liverpool might possibly be running on losses of £70m to £200m. When asked if Liverpool would regret their decision, Wheland said, “It seemed like he was Liverpool bound. Only Jurgen Klopp will know why they have not gone in for him.
“He is a fantastic player with a great record in the Bundesliga and internationally. You have to move swiftly and Chelsea have done that. A player that is of a reasonable price for the age and quality that he has. It is not a bad price to pay. Liverpool need to strengthen in attack even though they have the famous three there. Origi is there and Minamino, but he needs more time. Klopp will want to strengthen in two or three positions in his squad ahead of next season. I am sure there will be money for him.”
