Timo Werner to Liverpool transfer appears set to happen this summer
| ||||||
Liverpool are frontrunners to sign Werner this summer but there have been claims that the Reds' financial drawback due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic could hamper the move.
Lfc rumour understand that Premier League leaders Liverpool had already tabled Timo Werner's fee and wages prior to the severity of the coronavirus pandemic. The player is expected to switch sides whenever the window is permitted to be active.
Wener netted a hat-trick against Mainz during the weekend and RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann has said the striker is considering leaving the Bundesliga for a new challenge.
Nagelsmann claims the 24-year-old will be thinking with his partner, 23-year-old Julia Nagler, about joining Liverpool.
“He is in a good mood, feels good and trains well,” Nagelsmann told Sport Bild.
"I do not have the impression that he is carrying a large cross with him. But he is a young guy who is sure to sit at home with his girlfriend and ponder whether he will stay or change.
"When the question is in the room, you are always a little bit somewhere else. It was no different for me than when in Hoffenheim, it was about whether I go away.
"It is more obvious with strikers, because then there are phases in which they do not score."
Werner, meanwhile has flirted with a move to Liverpool with his comments in recent times.
Once, the Germany international said: "It's a pleasure but I know that Liverpool have a lot of good players and I have to improve myself, to learn much more things to get on this level to play there."
