RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner - an alleged target of Liverpool and Chelsea - confirms that he is keen to move abroad at some point during his career.

RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner has hinted that he plans to move away from the Bundesliga during the next transfer window.

Having starred for Leipzig in Germany's top flight and the Champions League this season, Werner has been heavily linked with a future switch to Liverpool or Chelsea.

While Bayern Munich are also said to be in the mix for the attacker, Werner has suggested that he will likely sign for a foreign club when he leaves Leipzig.

Speaking to Bild, the 24-year-old said: "Bayern is a great club, we don't need to talk about it, and Hansi Flick has proven this season that he's a really good head coach.

"But if a change should ever become an issue, I would rather take a step abroad than switch to Bavaria. It's just that the challenge in another league would appeal to me a little more than a change within the Bundesliga."

Although Werner has a contract until 2023, a release clause in the region of £51m is said to be present in his existing deal.
