RB Leipzig chief executive Oliver Mintzlaff has warned Liverpool, Chelsea and other Timo Werner’s suitors that his £52m price tag is non-negotiable.

Liverpool lead a host of European clubs that have expressed an interest in the striker, who has scored 24 Bundesliga goals this season.

Mintzlaff told Sport Bild: “It won’t get any cheaper. We will not sell a player below value if he is under contract for more than a year.

“In general, we always have to ask the following question – can we replace a player if we sell him for less than his market value?

“But, I only think about those things once I have the facts on the table.”
