"Bayern? I'm better going abroad"

Timo Werner's future, which seemed to lie anywhere but Leipzig, could actually lie in the city in Eastern Germany. Clubs like Liverpool, who are very interested in signing him, may not be able to make new signings because of the effects of the coronavirus, so the striker has got less options.

Bayern usually snap up the best players from the rest of the German teams and are also interested in the player, but it seems like Werner is not too keen on the idea.

In a chat with 'Bild', Werner admitted that he would prefer to go to a foreign club than the German giants. "They are a great club, we don't need to talk about that. And Flick has shown that he is a very good coach. But if I were to move, I'd rather move abroad than to Bayern," the Germany international surprised told the paper.

"A challenge in a different competition would interest me more than a move to another Bundesliga club. It's also important I like and have a good relationship with the club. I choose RB Leipzig for that reason and it's something I will always have in mind," Werner continued.

Although he had already shown his class in the past, Timo Werner has shone in the 2019-20 season. When the campaign was halted, the forward had 27 goals and 12 assists, his best ever tally for a season.
