Timo Werner has been linked with a move to Liverpool for over a year and the RB Leipzig star could make a switch to Anfield in the summer.

Last week’s edition of SportBild explained the Germany international is ‘increasingly likely’ to ‘give his yes’ to the Reds.

Apart from Jürgen Klopp’s side, Barcelona and Inter Milan are also believed to be looking at the forward.

The La Liga winners could cool their interest in him as they are close to agreeing a deal with the Nerazzurri for Lautaro Martínez.

Sport on Wednesday states Barca’s operation to sign the Argentine is ‘well advanced’ and the proof of this is Inter have already started negotiation to sign Werner.

The Catalan newspaper adds Antonio Conte’s side will face an obstacle from the Merseyside club in landing the 24-year-old, who has a release clause of around €55-60m.

It’s claimed Liverpool ‘have an advantage’, but the Serie A club are ‘already in the fight’ for the attacker.

Inter must bring in a player if Martínez leaves the San Siro and whether or not they can convince Werner to join them over Liverpool remains to be seen.
