RB Leipzig is probably preparing for transfer poker with Bayern around Timo Werner
“We will not give a player significantly below value unless we have to. Other clubs will not do that either, "said RB boss Oliver Mintzlaff at Sky:" We have a great squad and I wouldn't have to worry if we started the season with the same team. "

They are common phrases in the industry. Repeatedly, the much courted Werner had not shown himself unwilling to work in Munich .
Most recently, Hansi Flick fueled rumors of a possible change of the German national striker by the 55-year-old Badener pondering a system with two heads.
With Werner alongside Robert Lewandowski? We explain why the Bayern coach is so fond of the football of the 24-year-old Swabian.
1. Joachim Löw is a big fan of Timo Werner - and confidante of Hansi Flick
From 2006 to 2014 Flick was assistant to national coach Joachim Löw in the DFB team for eight years. Both are in contact again and again and still value each other, and Löw appreciates above all the qualities of Werner , after all, the world champion maker has no alternative in the storm.
" Timo Werner is logically in our squad," said Löw in December and gave the Leipzig team a guarantee for the squad that had since been postponed. Although the attacker had only scored two goals in eight appearances in 2019 and played only once.

It would come as no surprise if the national coach and the Bayern coach exchanged views about Werner on a regular basis - and this would fuel Flick's interest even more.
2. Hansi Flick obviously pursues a Uli Hoeneß creed at Bayern
Having as many and, above all, the best German players in the FC Bayern * squad has always been the credo of Honorary President Uli Hoeneß when he was still responsible for transfers on Säbener Straße.
Flick ticks similarly. He has a special connection to the German (ex) national team. Jerome Boateng * literally grew stronger under him, Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka can live out their claim to leadership in midfield - and Thomas Müller is suddenly Thomas Müller again.

“Hansi has a say. That is why we now wanted clarity in the coaching position before we put together the player squad for the next season in the coming weeks and months, ”said board boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently when the contract was extended with Flick (until 2023).
And: Like ex-boss Löw, the Bayern coach is also a big fan of Werner. "If you look at the game Leipzig against Bayer ( Leverkusen, d. Red. ), You have to emphasize in the analysis: In the moments when Timo had the ball, it was dangerous," he said in March: "That shows its tremendous quality. "
3. Timo Werner as a tactical X-factor that Hansi Flick does not yet have in Bavaria
A quality made for the game of FC Bayern ?
“We often played with two peaks this season, mostly the last ten minutes when we absolutely needed a goal. Certainly we will not defend ourselves against such an extraordinary system as one with two strikers if it is successful, "Müller explained last - and said with a view to Werner *:" I doubt whether this is synonymous with transfer speculation. Timo Werner likes to move outside anyway. But he's a good man, Timo. "
And flick? As mentioned, he pondered eagerly about a system with two tips *.
“We have noticed in the last few games that it is not always easy when the opponent is low. That you play more and more against opponents who build one or two bars in front of their own goal if possible. Absolutely two tips are an option, absolutely, ”he said at a virtual press conference.
The Bayern would have to act more flexibly, especially in order to be able to react to the tactical changes of the opponents, Flick continued: “It is therefore important that we have options. So that we can play with two spikes at the front. ”Maybe with Timo Werner next to Robert Lewandowski ...
