However, Mintzlaff insists the Champions League debutants are under no pressure to sell.

He said: "He has a contract until 2020 and he feels at home here," — before adding that there was no need to worry about a release clause being met as there wasn't one.

Mario Gomez believes Werner will "dominate Germany's attack for the next ten years".

Werner scored 21 goals last season as Leipzig finished second in their first-ever top-flight campaign.

In the summer, he won the golden boot with three goals and an assist in the final as Germany won the Confederations Cup.
