Timo Werner transfer jackpot as Liverpool and Chelsea receive major signing boost

A host of Europe's top sides have received a massive boost in their pursuit of Timo Werner as it's been revealed his buyout clause is €20m less than originally believed.

It's understood the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea are weighing up summer bids for the Germany international and he could now be had for €30m (£25m) - according to Bild.

Frank Lampard has made no secret over his desire to land another forward to support Tammy Abraham and has been linked with a £60m move for Lyon's Moussa Dembele.

And Jurgen Klopp is a long-term admirer of Werner - who has scored 28 times in 37 appearances for the Bundesliga title chasers this season.

The 23-year-old was excellent in his side's 1-0 win over Tottenham in the last 16 of the Champions League with a host of scouts in attendance to run the rule over him.

Werner will also have the chance to increase his list of suitors as he's poised to lead the line for Germany in the summer's Euro 2020.

But a move to the Premier League appears the most likely option and all-conquering Liverpool remains the favourites to secure his signature.

Klopp has been reluctant to add players who won't improve his starting XI but it's believed Werner fits the bill for the Reds.
