Bundesliga expert Andy Brassell believes Timo Werner will leave RB Leipzig this summer, and that Liverpool and Chelsea will lead the chase for the forward.
Werner has scored 27 goals and claimed 11 assists in 35 games this season, and has been continually linked with a host of clubs from around Europe.
However, recent reports suggested that the forward is keen on a move to Liverpool this summer, and has spoken publicly about his love for the club and their manager Jurgen Klopp.
While it is also believed that Chelsea are very much interested in the forward as Frank Lampard looks to bolster his attacking options in the upcoming window.
And Brassell is of the opinion that it is between the Premier League heavyweights for the 24-year-old’s signature.
“Werner I think is going to move,” the Bundesliga reporter said on White and Sawyer show on talkSPORT .
“Because of his low-ish buy-out clause, certainly for the quality he has got, of about €60m you’d think there is a massive queue for him.
“But he’s very ambitious and for that reason there is a very small window of clubs that have a chance of getting him.
“Bayern are out of the picture; he’s annoyed they didn’t make that move for him before and it doesn’t seem like he’s over that.
“It seems he would like to try his luck abroad and he speaks excellent English already.
“Of course he’s made such a push for Liverpool in the media opportunities he’s had over recent weeks, but I wonder if Chelsea could be in the mix as well. You could see him walking into that team a lot easier.
“The question is with Liverpool, especially with them going out the Champions League, it does tell you that success, however good, it is finite.
“And at some point Liverpool, however brilliant they are, they’re going to have to make changes to that team. You can’t leave a team and just say: ‘It’s perfect, we can’t improve it’. That’s now how football works.
“So the idea of Werner coming in to compete with those players and maybe even replacing one of them eventually is not completely off the table.”
