Timo Werner expresses interest over a move to Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich beat RB Leipzig 1-0 at home in the Bundesliga on Wednesday night as Franck Ribery’s 84th-minute winner sent the Bavarian giants to third in the standings.
And Leipzig striker Timo Werner made no attempt to hide his interest in a move to Bayern. The 22-year-old has just one and a half years remaining on his current contract which is set to expire in June 2020 and Leipzig might sell their star man to avoid losing him for free.
“I have no time pressure. I can think about it in peace and decide in the new year,” Werner told Sky after Franck Ribery’s 83rd-minute winner sent Bayern five points clear of Leipzig in third.
“If you play at RB Leipzig and want to stay in Germany, there is really only one club where you can switch to.
“Of course, staying in Leipzig is also an option, but it’s out of the question that other teams are in the race as well.”
Bayern manager Niko Kovac also spoke of the German international in glowing terms.
“Timo Werner is a fantastic player, but you know that as well as I do. He is a German international and he has developed well since leaving Stuttgart,” said Kovac.
“He became a big player, not only in his team but also in the Bundesliga, with great skills.
“What happens in the winter or in the summer isn’t that interesting right now, because we have our own players, who still want to achieve something.”
