Leipzig chief 'deeply relaxed' about Werner despite Liverpool link

The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for Werner in recent months, with reports suggesting that he has a release clause in his contract that expires this month.

Indeed, Werner has made no attempts to shy away from the speculation, first revealing his admiration for the European champions before admitting that Manchester United could be an ideal next destination.

However, reports in Spain claimed Inter Milan have also made an 11th-hour to beat Liverpool to his signature, with Antonio Conte's side on the lookout for an attacker to replace Lautaro Martinez, who appears destined to join Barcelona.
