RB Leipzig CEO Mintzlaff On Inter & Liverpool Target Timo Werner: “He Wont Get Any Cheaper” | OneFootball

RB Leipzig’s chief executive Oliver Mintzlaff has admitted that star man Timo Werner’s price will not get any cheaper amid continued speculation with regard to his future at the club.

The prolific 24-year-old German national team striker has drawn links to a whole array of clubs ahead of the upcoming Summer transfer window, especially Liverpool.

Inter have also been heavily linked with making a move for the former Stuttgart player in the event that Lautaro Martinez departs the club in the coming months.

“He won’t get any cheaper. We will not sell a player below value if he is under contract for more than a year,” Mintzlaff admitted in an interview with the online edition of German news outlet Sport BILD.

“In general, we always have to ask the following question – can we replace a player if we sell him for less than his market value? But, I only think about those things once I have the facts on the table.”

This season Werner, who has a contract with the Red Bull energy drink backed club until the end of the 2022/23 season, has made 39 appearances across all competitions to date.

In his time on the park, Werner has scored a total of 30 goals and has also provided a dozen assists for his teammates.
