Liverpool have contacted RB Leipzig to 'signal their interest' in Timo Werner, according to reports in Germany.

SportBild suggest the Reds have asked to be updated on developments over the forward's future.

Werner is believed to be on Jurgen Klopp's radar as Liverpool look set to bolster their striking options in the summer.

Rumours have also been swirling that Werner has agreed terms with Bayern Munich via his agent, but Leipzig boss Ralf Rangnick sought to shut them down last week.

Rangnick said: "A possible agreement is impossible for 2019 [right now]. We would have to agree, and we are not.

"Nobody has approached us from Bayern. There will not be a case like Leon Goretzka and Robert Lewandowski between us and Timo Werner.

“This option does not exist and we do not need to talk about this scenario.

“Clubs that want him will report in the summer and then we will find a fair, mutually agreed solution.

“Everything else is not an option."

There is speculation Werner has been offered a double-your-money deal worth £5.2million-per-year to stay with Rangnick's side.

But his current contract expires in 2020 - and Leipzig's hand may soon be forced if they want to secure a decent fee for their 23-year-old star.
