Liverpool remain in the hunt for RB Leipzig star Timo Werner despite the expectation that he would join Bayern Munich this summer.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has long admired the Germany international, having come up against the striker during his time as Borussia Dortmund manager.
Werner looks set to leave Leipzig at the end of this season after refusing to extend his current deal which expires in June 2020.
But reports in Germany suggested he would remain in the Bundesliga, with Bayern Munich believed to have been leading the chase for his signature.

That, however, may not be the case if the latest claims in Germany are anything to go by - and Liverpool may well still have a chance of adding Werner to their ranks.
Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff has suggested that the club are yet to agree terms with Bayern, and the striker may even prefer a move to the Premier League.
"The situation is still the same. Timo Werner would rather not sign an extension," he told Sky, cited by BuliNews .

"But that could change. I don’t think it’s completely out of the question that he could extend his deal. We haven’t talked to Bayern Munich about Timo Werner yet.
"Maybe he doesn’t even want to go to Munich. Maybe he would rather join Tuchel in Paris, Klopp at Liverpool or Favre at Dortmund."
Werner has again enjoyed an impressive season, scoring 19 goals and providing 11 assists in 36 games in all competitions.
