Liverpool have been trying hard to convince RB Leipzig's highly-rated player to accept the club's offer for next season, and they have been doing so for months.
In fact, Klopp is reportedly tempting Werner by video call to leave the German club and start a new Premier League adventure.
But in the last few hours the story could have changed completely. The Daily Mirror says the Anfield Road team has no intention of paying the almost 56 million euros the Germans are demanding for his transfer, as they will not offer more than 34 million.
A reduction that RB Leipzig are not prepared to accept, as the CEO of the Bundesliga club, Oliver Mintzlaff, stressed: "It won't get any cheaper. We won't sell a player below his value if he has a contract for more than a year."
That is why the aforementioned British source points out that the English would have withdrawn from the bidding process, leaving Inter Milan free to launch an attack for one of the top scorers of the moment, which would facilitate Lautaro Martínez's arrival at Barcelona.
