Leipzig (dpa) - National player Timo Werner has again avoided a commitment to his club RB Leipzig. "If you have scored 20 goals at the age of 23 in the course of the season so far, this naturally arouses interest," said the striker in an interview with the specialist magazine "Kicker".
"That is clear. But as of now I am not worried about what will happen in the future." Werner had only extended his contract with the Saxons, who had to hand over the league lead in the Bundesliga to FC Bayern at the weekend, only last August until 2023.
"What do you say when a club comes in two weeks that wants to have someone who is a candidate for winning the Champions League and makes a great offer?" Asked Werner. "Then every player is probably worried. Career planning is always relative in my eyes. It comes as it comes - and then you have to deal with it at the right time." Although he had no "concrete" goals, Werner still spoke about the English Premier League and the Spanish League.
First, the 23-year-old emphasized, he is concentrating on the upcoming games with his team, which will play on Tuesday (6.30 p.m. / Sky and Sport1) in the DFB Cup round of 16 at Eintracht Frankfurt. "We are now facing important games that are crucial for the rest of the season," said Werner. "I can think about my future sometime later."
