Bayern Munich have distanced themselves from RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner to pave the way for Chelsea and Real Madrid.
The 23-year-old, who has been prolific this season, has been linked to moves to Bayern, Chelsea and Madrid.
However Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has insisted that Werner will not be joining the club.
'Timo Werner is a good player who played an excellent first half of the season,' he told BILD.
'However, we have Robert Lewandowski. Robert is a striker who fits our style of play perfectly.
'Robert has the ability to orientate himself in a tight space, the technology to move in tight spaces and to find extraordinary solutions with the ball.
'With his speed, Timo Werner needs more room, which he had in the system that Leipzig played. The system at RB has now changed, but it is still not as tight at the front as it is with us.'
Werner has notched 23 goals in 25 appearances as RB Leipzig sit top of the Bundesliga.

He has 63 goals and the 3rd highest ratio in UCL unlike your overrated Drogba who because of one header everyone thinks he's world class meanwhile he was just an average player benefitting from the fact that he plays EPL and did I hear Rudiger? How Chelsea embraces mediocrity.. just like Man Utd[Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh]๐๐๐๐๐๐๐

Not for Champions League, Rudiger will expose lewandowski for u. He's just a mediocre poacher that scores on mediocre teams.

This man is just a total crap. Lewo is 31-32. after 1-2 years he should not be our first striker. n werner would be perfect but this crap doesnot know anything..

Yes he is a super star!!! Lewy is the best in my book, but we could use him FOR T E A M!!! We are FCBAYERN Munich. That young man has skills.

I dont get thos one he is cheap he want to go to bayern and they might not buy but nubel we buy under the exact same circumstance but there really is only one position where nubel can play where werner can left right in his preferred central position! wtf no brainer!! we will regret this one! Hassan and kovac were the one's in the summer according to Rafa honingstein that blocked the move when uli and karl were keen to buy Werner!
They are destroying our club we should of buy Werner instead of Arp. Amd let go Boateng and Javi. Replace with Ginter and Ruben Dias. Ginter also I a player that can play center back, midfield and wing back.

Am German and Bayern Munich fan yes. And I been waiting for Glory days from 2013. We had a great coach and forced him into retirement for a coach we have 7. Barcelona which was a great team. I was never a fan of Pep to be honest. And from that bare madness. Selling Kroos. Not buying Kevin De Bryne. Bayern Board needs to accept the time has change and the club needs to spend.

Our club are being run by morons. And I see turmoil if we don't get a Solid CB and a lethal and great winger.

I agree with the suggestion that Bayern Sporting Director is a novice. How is it he missed out on Halland when this player was on the radar of Bayern for sometime?Dortmund got the best deal by signing this prolific goal scorer.

This is the same stupidity Bayern exhibited when Leroy left Germany for Man City. They didnโt see any potential in Leroy at the time. Now they will have to dance to the music by Paying huge transfer fees to get Leroy.

He would just sit on the bench at bayern even though he's world class.

Werner can play on the wing and as a striker that clown needs to go like the Kovac bros.

lewa has 3 more prime years and due to his physicality i can see him playing for 5 years easily... so i think we should wait for more years

This is good..werner is not good for bayern bcz bayern all the time have strikers like lewa, madzu, makaay , etc. Werner needs a counter-attacking team and bayern isn't that. Just like with germany.
