Liverpool consider Timo Werner transfer bid

Liverpool are reportedly considering tabling a bid for RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner.

The 22-year-old has been tracked by Reds’ boss Jürgen Klopp for some time so it’s not the first time that we’ve been linked with him. Our interest is genuine so seeing Werner’s name crop up again is worthy of a mention, especially as more credible sources are stating that we’re still tracking him.

Manchester United have also been heavily linked and there have been suggestions that if a number of clubs went in for him that Old Trafford would be his preferred destination after he spoke of his admiration of United in a recent interview.

Werner told FourFourTwo magazine: “Playing in the Premier League is a dream for me.

“I would like to play for two or three clubs, and Manchester United are one of those clubs. But probably not in the next few years – later, when my English is a little bit better! I’m very comfortable at RB Leipzig, though.

“Manchester United and Liverpool were the teams I watched quite a lot in England. They were the two that I’m a little bit a fan of because they have so much history.

“When Alex Ferguson was the coach, United won everything and were outstanding.

“In Liverpool, it’s also their stadium and the atmosphere. But when I have to decide, I’m more Manchester United than Liverpool.

“I’m now at a point where at some stage in the future I’d like to play in a team that wins titles.”

If Liverpool did step up with an offer, it could be a difficult deal to broker if the Naby Keïta deal is anything to go by.

In March 2017, Werner said he wasn’t interested in a move away from Germany at that time but a year on it would appear that he could be ready for the switch.

‘Timo Werner is not interested in a move to Liverpool Football Club, or any other club at the moment, as he wants to continue his development with RB Leipzig … his Leipzig team-mates, Naby Keita, a 22-year-old central midfielder and Emil Forsberg, a 25-year-old winger, are also said to be attracting interest from Liverpool scouts at the moment,’ – KOPTALK, 20.03.17
