Former footballer gives verdict on whether he thinks Timo Werner wants to join Liverpool

Former footballer Jan Aage Fjortoft believes that RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner wants to join Liverpool in the summer.

The Reds have been linked to Werner in various reports. There have been suggestions that the Reds are in advanced talks with Werner regarding a possible transfer in the summer.

Liverpool are reportedly prepared to meet Werner’s release clause of €58 million as a result. Werner has stated that he admires Liverpool, and that itself does suggest he would be open to the move.

Fjortoft has suggested that Liverpool are not negotiating with Werner as of this moment. However, he is convinced Werner wants the move to Anfield come the summer.

Do I think he wants to go to Liverpool? Yes, I do. Do I think Liverpool right now is negotiating with him? No, I don’t. Liverpool got 3 fantastic attackers. They are about to do one of the club’s best year. CL, World Cup and PL..why should Klopp and the club make too much noise

Werner’s flirt-strategy with Liverpool is smart. The fans will love him for it. Timo Werner is a good guy by the way. I like his way of speaking openly about this. Wish more players left their cliches at home.

There is a sense that Liverpool’s interest in Werner is genuine. He would be a terrific signing, as he is only 23 years old and is still improving. The biggest fear Werner might have regarding a move to Liverpool is where he will fit in on a regular basis.

The only way the German forward could become a regular in Jurgen Klopp’s XI from the beginning is if Roberto Firmino were to play in behind Werner, which is certainly a possibility.
