Liverpool fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest transfer update surrounding RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner.
This comes after Liverpool news Twitter account @LFCTransferRoom shared a post on their page relaying news originally published in a report by Le10Sport.
Would you be happy for the club to wait until next summer to sign Werner?
Yes, we can wait
No, we need him now
The report claims that Werner is one of Jurgen Klopp’s main priorities for next summer.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were quick to share their thoughts on this news.
Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans responding to the post:
Werner is one of Klopps priorities for next summer. The German has been personally involved in his transfer since he’s been in constant contact with him explaining the project. The idea is that if #LFC ever drop one of the from 3, Werner will be able to succeed them. [@le10sport] pic.twitter.com/CxmnRBODQN

He’ll have been picked up by then, he’s already had words with Barca and Inter so if we don’t get him this summer, he won’t wait

Shocking if don’t spend for 3rd summer in a row, pandemic or not, FSG should go if that happens

That’s an extremely small club mentality mindset
Let’s hope it’s nonsense

Yes, we can wait
No, we need him now
The striker has been in fine form for Leipzig this campaign, managing to score a total of 27 goals in 37 appearances so far this season (per Transfermarkt). Now that it has been reported that Liverpool may wait until next summer to sign the 24-year-old, this news frustrated a lot of Reds fans who were not shy in airing their disappointment on Twitter.
So fsg are looking to sell next summer

What do we think?
It appears that these Liverpool fans are not too happy with the idea of the club waiting until next summer to sign the German striker. Given Werner’s impressive goalscoring record so far this season, it’s understandable why they would want him to come to Anfield as soon as possible.
