RB Leipzig director reveals Liverpool and Real Madrid target Timo Werner has NO release clause and they are under no pressure to sell star striker
Confederations Cup golden boot-winner is considered one of best young forwards in Europe and has major admirers
RB LEIZPIG director Oliver Mintzlaff has revealed Liverpool and Real Madrid target Timo Werner does NOT have a release clause.
The 21-year-old striker was magnificent for the Bundesliga's surprise package last season — and has attracted attention from the European heavyweight duo.
However, Mintzlaff insists the Champions League debutants are under no pressure to sell.
He said: "He has a contract until 2020 and he feels at home here," — before adding that there was no need to worry about a release clause being met as there wasn't one.
Mario Gomez believes Werner will "dominate Germany's attack for the next ten years".
And Mintzlaff insists everything is in place for him to continue improving at Leipzig.
He added: "We are playing in the Champions League.
"With this, we can offer Timo everything to continue his development here.
"We are completely relaxed. Here, he has the perfect platform."
