The RB Leipzig star is a reported transfer target for Manchester United and Liverpool.
RB Leipzig ace Timo Werner sat down for an exclusive interview with Four Four Two, and suggested that it is his dream to play in the Premier League at some point in the future, whilst admitting that he would choose Manchester United over Liverpool.
The 22-year-old forward has been in fine form in Germany this season, chipping in with 16 goals and four assists for Leipzig, and according to the Sun, he has emerged as a prime transfer target for the two Premier League giants.
Werner is one of the continent’s most highly-coveted young players, and he has already racked up an impressive 10 caps for Germany.
He will be a fantastic signing for whichever club wins the race for his signature, and the Leipzig ace hinted that his future could very well lie at Old Trafford, when speaking exclusively to Four Four Two:
“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. 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,” he says. “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.”
With the summer transfer window just a few months away, both United and Liverpool will surely be interested to hear Werner’s comments.
According to Transfer Markt, the German is valued at €60 million (£53.6 million), and in today’s ludicrously inflated transfer market, that would actually represent excellent value for money.
