RB Leipzig have made a final bid to keep Timo Werner, with a bumper new contract.
The Germany striker is into the final 18 months of his current deal and has been handed an ultimatum by RBL CEO Oliver Mintzlaff: Sign up or be sold.
Liverpool , Barcelona , Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are among a host of sides who have been monitoring his situation, but none have a real spot in their starting lineup right now.
RBL’s current coach Ralf Rangnick - also the club’s sporting director - insisted this week that he believes Werner should stay put, amid suggestions he could switch to Bayern Munich in the summer.
"If Bayern are serious, then it will be difficult for us. But they often play with one striker, so I see him staying with us for the next two or three years.”
Now the 22-year-old has been offered a double-your-money deal, worth £5.2million-per-year.
According to Bild, the contract would also include a £60million release clause for 10 of Europe's biggest clubs - including Liverpool, Manchester City , Manchester United and Chelsea .
Werner has scored 11 goals in 18 games in the Bundesliga this term and remains Leipzig's most valuable asset.
The German upstarts have refused to sell this month and incoming head coach Julian Nagelsmann is known to be keen to build around Werner next season - when they hope to be back in the Champions League.
The contract offer is seen as the club's last throw of the dice to keep Werner past this summer.
Werner, who has 23 international caps, has made clear his interest in taking a step to a bigger club, notably Bayern.
But Liverpool scouts were in attendance to see him score twice against Borussia Monchengladbach in early December, and Jurgen Klopp remains a fan.
Real Madrid have also been mooted as another possible destination, with the European champions continuing to eyeing young attacking talent and continuing to plot for a long-term replacement for Karim Benzema.

bayern is still a good for him....coz in barca, its hard to find place in starting 111 and they are keen to sign H.Kane from tottenham and liverpool is another bes option for him bt mane, salah & firmino is there so its hard to find him in starting bt kloop can make T.Werner as world class top deadly-super striker... & even Real madrid is a good option for him, they too needs a striker, coz real madrid newly sign striker B.Diaz is not good as Werner....

it is better to go to Barcelona instead of Liverpool or Bayern Munich because Barca needs a striker as Suarez is already 32 so he can well fit in that position . Liverpool has Fermino and he is the best for them and Bayern has Lewandoski so it is bettet to go to Barca
