Borussia Dortmund to rival Liverpool, Bayern Munich for Timo Werner?

Liverpool and Bayern Munich reportedly face fresh competition from Borussia Dortmund to land the signature of RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner.

The Reds are believed to have moved ahead of a number of English clubs to the front of the queue to sign the 22-year-old, who has 11 goals in 17 Bundesliga outings this term.

Werner appears to be on his way out of Leipzig after stalling on signing a new contract, somewhat forcing the Red Bull-backed club's hand, and there is no shortage of suitors for the 22-year-old.

Liverpool and Bayern are considered the favourites to sign Werner, but German outlet Bild claims that Dortmund have also entered the race for a player about to enter the final season of his contract.

Twenty-three cap Germany international Werner is apparently having second thoughts about switching to Bayern as he does not want to be back-up to Robert Lewandowski, leading to Dortmund making their interest known.
