Sensational season for Timo Werner
Timo Werner is having a sensational season. The Leipzig forward is shining with the German team, taking the lead in the classification ahead of all the big teams in the competition. Scoring 23 goals and providing 10 assists in the 2019-2020 season, the German international is the center of attention.
Interest from Real Madrid
Having played 29 times for the national team, scoring 11 goals, the 23-year-old player from Stuttgart has attracted the interest of several teams. After Atletico Madrid showed interest in signing him a few weeks ago, Real Madrid has shown persistence in the last few days.
Bayern Munich's missed opportunity
Now, doubts arise about why Bayern Munich did not sign him last summer, an option that was extensively discussed during the past summer. The Sport Bild newspaper points out that it was the sporting director of the Bavarian team, Hasan Salihamidžić, who rejected this possibility.
Although there was consensus within the Bundesliga champions regarding his signing, Salihamidžić did not want to add a player who could overshadow Robert Lewandowski in attack. With the Polish striker renewed until 2023, Bayern Munich now risks losing Werner.
