# Blow for Liverpool as Werner eyes Bayern move

Liverpool have been dealt a huge blow in their pursuit of RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner, as the forward is eyeing a move to Bayern Munich.

Werner reportedly only sees himself joining Bayern Munich this summer, if he is to leave Leipzig ahead of next season.

The report also claims that Leipzig are holding out for a fee in the region of €60m, despite the German international only having a year left on his deal.

However, Leizpig are hopeful that Julian Nagelsmann can convince Werner to put pen to paper and commit his future to the club.
