# Bayern Munich remain keen on signing Werner this summer

Bayern Munich are still keen on signing Timo Werner this summer, according to [Kicker](https://www.kicker.de/773235/artikel/fc_bayern_klarer_trend_gegen_einen_san_wechsel).

The 24-year-old has arguably been the player most strongly [linked](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/03/04/werner-really-wants-liverpool-move/) with a move to Liverpool this summer, with reports continually stating he could head to Anfield.

Bayern are also eyeing him up, however, with [doubts](https://www.kicker.de/773235/artikel/fc_bayern_klarer_trend_gegen_einen_san_wechsel) thought to be creeping in over their pursuit of Manchester City winger Leroy Sane.

The Bundesliga giants see Werner as a strong alternative, with the RB Leipzig striker bagging [27 goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/130903/Show/Timo-Werner) this season.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

This update is clearly worrying from a Liverpool perspective, given the pull that Bayern have with German players.

They have so often snapped up the best homegrown talent down the years, whether it be Michael Ballack, Mario Gotze or Mats Hummels, to name just a few.

There is a threat that Werner’s head could be turned by Bayern’s interest, although he has publicly stated his [admiration](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/timo-werner-liverpool-transfer-news-best-in-world-a4366671.html) for Liverpool.

The hope is that the lure of Jurgen Klopp and the Reds’ status as the [world’s best club side](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/025a-0e9f8fe852b8-ff94b0553a0e-1000--club-world-cup-firmino-wins-final-for-liverpool/) still makes them the most appealing proposition.

Werner’s [£53 million release clause](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/04/01/werners-release-clause-must-be-triggered-before-june-15th/) is too appealing not to trigger considering his pedigree – he is the [youngest player](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/timo-werner-records-highlights-200-games-with-rb-leipzig-vfb-stuttgart-germany-8181) to make 100, 150 and 200 appearances in the Bundesliga – and I still believe Liverpool have a good chance of securing Werner’s services in the coming weeks and months.
