Manchester United and City put on transfer alert by German striker Timo Werner

London, Feb 19: German international Timo Werner has put Premier League giants on alert as the RB Leipzig striker has admitted that he fancies a move to either Manchester United or City.

The 21-year-old is making headlines in the German league and reportedly denied a new contract offer from the Bundesliga side, after getting attention from all over the world.

Earlier some of the recent reports suggested that Bundesliga rival Bayern Munich is monitoring the situation of the German youngster whereas Spanish giants Real Madrid and other Premier League rivals Liverpool, Arsenal are also eyeing a probable move for the young ace.

And while talking about his future the German sensation has claimed that he would love to go to top clubs in Spain, Germany or England, particularly naming two Manchester giants as his preferred destination.

"If you take Germany, it would be a lie to say that you would not like to play for Bayern [Munich]," Werner told Sport1. "It would be a lie to say in England you'd not like to play for Manchester United or Manchester City.

"Spain – Barca or Real. There are great clubs in every league. Italy or France would not be my leagues, but the other three.

"There are so many clubs you'd like to play for. I don't want to tie myself down."

The 21-year-old Werner joined Bundesliga rivals RB Leipzig last Summer for €10 million from Stuttgart after his side faced relegation and had a wonderful debut season where he scored 21 times.

His scoring boot is continuing to develop this season also as well as he has just scored sixteen goals and helped in scoring three more in all competitions already. His impressive performance also has given him a call-up in the German national side last year where he also has scored seven times till now.

Werner although would not come cheap considering that he has a contract with the German side till 2020 and reportedly should his club decide to sell him eventually, they could command a fee at least in the region of £50m.
