Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are reportedly interested in Timo Werner.

RB Leipzig manager Ralf Rangnick has suggested to Kicker that Timo Werner should stay at the club and not join Liverpool or Bayern Munich.

According to The Mirror, German giants Bayern and Premier League outfit Liverpool are interested in signing Werner from Leipzig in the summer transfer window.

Rangnick told Kicker, as translated by Goal.com: “My opinion is that Timo fits best here, also in terms of style of play.

“If I were his advisor or father, I would clearly advise him to stay and extend his contract. When a really big club comes in for him and he wants to leave, he can still do that.”

Stats

Werner has been on the books of Leipzig since 2016 and has established himself as an important player for the German club.

According to WhoScored, the 23-year-old striker made 29 starts and one substitute appearances in the Bundesliga for Leipzig this past season, scoring 16 goals and provided seven assists in the process.

During the 2017-18 campaign, the youngster made 28 starts and four substitute appearances in the Bundesliga for Leipzig, scoring 13 goals and providing seven assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

Good signing for Liverpool?

Liverpool have a very good attacking unit, but Werner would be a good addition to Jurgen Klopp’s side.

The Germany international is young and dynamic, and the 23-year-old would be an asset at Liverpool.
