RB Leipzig CEO: Liverpool in running race with Bayern Munich to sign Bundesliga superstar

Red Bull Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff has admitted Liverpool are in the race to sign Timo Werner. Bayern Munich are believed to be keen on the Germany international, but striker may want to play under Jurgen Klopp. The 23-year-old scored 16 goals in 30 games for Leipzig and created seven assists. “We haven’t spoken to Timo Werner about Bayern Munich, but what the player wanted to do was important for us as he wanted to see how the season would go,” Mintzlaff told Sky Sports. “Last year we certainly didn’t play football like we did in the season before. We have submitted an offer and we know that Timo would rather not extend – but that can still change. Maybe he doesn’t even want to go to Munich. Maybe he wants to go to [Thomas] Tuchel in Paris or, I have no idea, maybe to Jurgen Klopp [at Liverpool] or Lucien Favre [at Dortmund].”
