Oliver Mintzlaff, the managing director of the Bundesliga outfit, RB Leipzig has revealed that the club haven't received any transfer offer for their star Man, Timo Werner.
If you recall earlier this week, transfer reports claims Chelsea had triggered Timo Werner £54 million (€60m/$68m) release clause in his contract.
“We haven't had an exchange yet,” he told Sky Sports Deutschland on the 24-year-old. “Accordingly, we have nothing to report. Timo Werner is a player for RB Leipzig. He signalled a few weeks ago that he was busy with a transfer. Until now nothing is done.
“We are concentrating on the final sprint in the league. We want to qualify for the Champions League. That is the only thing we are currently discussing with Timo.
It's was suggested that the German international had agreed personal terms with a weekly wages of £200,000 per week.
He continued: “It was important for us that we extend the contract with him. We did that last summer because of course it is important for our young club that no player moves on a free transfer.
“Of course, there was this exit clause that we put in the contract to give him the opportunity to take the next step.
“Now Timo is sitting in the driver's seat, not us anymore. So far, he has not drawn upon the clause, nor has any club sent us a transfer contract.”
RB Leipzig are still in the Champions League after knocking out Tottenham Hotspur in the round of 16,just before the coronavirus pandemic caused football to be suspended.
“If Timo should leave the club, we’re sure that the buying club will allow us to keep him until the end of the Bundesliga season, whenever that is,” Mintzlaff said. “We can only discuss the Champions League when we know when it is going to take place. It won't be decided until mid-June.”
