Liverpool’s summer plan to bring RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner to the Premier League has been dealt a major blow after the German chose their northeast rival, Manchester United.
The Reds have been tracking Werner since last season, but a deal has not been forthcoming with Liverpool only succeeding only in signing his teammate, Naby Keita.
However, after he rejected a new deal at the German side, his suitors have become hopeful of signing him again, but he seems to have a choice of the team he would like to play for.
According to Sun Sport, Werner admitted that he has dreams of playing in England at some point even though he is currently happy in Germany with Leipzig. Per the reports, Werner claimed he has been following the EPL and specifically two teams – Liverpool and Manchester United.
He claimed he loves Manchester United because of their history and Liverpool because of their passionate fans and stadium atmosphere.
He, however, concluded by saying if he wanted to move to the EPL now, he would choose the Red Devils.
