RB Leipzig chief executive Oliver Mintzlaff has cautioned clubs interested in their star man to approach his asset with a £52m price tag or forget about selling.

Liverpool has been keen on signing the German international but the Reds reportedly pulled out due to the price elevation of Werner in such a time where the football economy has been struck by the coronavirus pandemic.

Jurgen Klopp according to the Mirror is not willing to pay the £50m release clause of the 24-year.

In an interview with Sports Bild, Mintzlaff has affirmed his stance and alerted possible suitors to prepare for an amount not less than the asking price if Werner regardless of how football has been affected by the pandemic.

"It won't get any cheaper. We will not sell a player below value if he is under contract for more than a year,” Mintzlaff told Sport Bild.

"In general, we always have to ask the following question, can we replace a player if we sell him for less than his market value?

"But, I only think about those things once I have the facts on the table."
