RB Leipzig appeared unfazed when asked by AS about Real Madrid's interest in Timo Werner, who is being tipped for a move to LaLiga.
Real Madrid are combing the market for a striker and, as was revealed by AS yesterday, have made contract with Poland's Krzysztof Piatek, whose 13 goals in 19 Serie A appearances have seen him take Italy by storm since joining Genoa in the summer.
Werner also a possible January option for Real Madrid
Meanwhile, RB Leipzig's Timo Werner is also understood to be among the possible January targets being looked at by the European champions, who have been left with no fit senior strikers in the wake of Karim Benzema's hand injury at Real Betis on Sunday.
When contacted by AS, however, Leipzig were unfazed by talk of the Germany international making a mid-season move to the Bernabéu. "As things stand, we don't have anything to say about this matter," the Bundesliga club told this newspaper when asked whether discussion have taken place with Los Blancos. "We hope Timo scores many more goals for us."
German has scored 13 in 21 for Leipzig in 2018/19
Werner, 22, has been attracting the interest of a host of major European clubs since hitting 21 goals in the 2016/17 season, and then repeating that haul the following year. So far in 2018/19, the forward has 13 goals in 21 games for Leipzig.
