Mauro Icardi’s recent transfer to Paris Saint-Germain could impact the fee that RB Leipzig command for Timo Werner according to a report from the online edition of British broadcaster Sky Sports.
Werner is understood to be a target for a host of clubs ahead of the upcoming transfer window with this report specifically mentioned Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United whilst Inter have also been linked with him.
The German’s €55 million release clause is set to expire in 12 days time and that could be the cheapest that interested clubs could acquire him for due to Icardi’s €58 million move to Paris Saint-Germain from Inter this past weekend.
Werner is a few years younger than Icardi is and if Icardi is to be the benchmark for transfers in the first transfer window following the Coronavirus outbreak, RB Leipzig are highly unlikely to let him go for anything less than the amount of his release clause.
