Werner waits for Liverpool as Barcelona and Manchester United make their move

Timo Werner RB Leipzig

Werner has been in prolific form this season and is attracting interest from some of Europe's top clubs.

The German striker has scored 27 goals in all competitions so far this season and is tipped for a summer transfer away from RB Leipzig.

Barcelona are keen to sign a new, long-term striker to fill the boots of the now 33-year-old Luis Suarez.

They signed Leganes' Danish striker Martin Braithwaite this month in exceptional circumstances as they currently have a number of first-team players injured.

"I know Liverpool is the best team in the moment in the world," Werner said to Viasport.

"When you’re linked with that team it makes me very proud."

Liverpool's strong front three of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firminho and Mohamed Salah are almost untouchable.
