How COVID-19 may prevent Liverpool signing Werner
This summer was never going to be too busy for Liverpool in terms of transfer dealings, as James Pearce writes in the Athletic .
Prior to the postponement of football across the UK in March, the Reds were closing in on the perfect signing in Timo Werner.
Werner had a release clause in his RB Leipzig contract of €60m (£53.7m) that Liverpool were keen to exploit to bring in one of European football’s brightest young talents.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused all sorts of uncertainty in football, and the Athletic report Liverpool are unlikely to make any major signings in the summer window.
