RB Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff insists that neither Liverpool nor Bayern Munich have been in contact to discuss Timo Werner.

RB Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff has insisted that neither Liverpool nor Bayern Munich have contacted the German club to discuss a potential deal for Timo Werner.

The Germany international has been in excellent form at club level during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring 27 times and providing 12 assists in 36 appearances in all competitions.

Liverpool are thought to be in a strong position to land the 24-year-old this summer, but Mintzlaff has revealed that the Merseyside outfit are yet to make official contact.

"Neither Jurgen Klopp nor [Bayern chairman] Karl-Heinz Rummenigge contacted me," Mintzlaff told General-Anzeiger.

"We are happy that we were able to extend the contract with him until 2023. He played a really strong first half of the season. We also believe that we are still a very good stage for Timo Werner on which to develop as a Germany international."

Chelsea, Inter Milan and Manchester United have also been linked with the centre-forward, who has struck 88 goals in 150 appearances for his current side in all competitions.
