Germany striker Timo Werner has been urged to extend his contract with RB Leipzig and shun interest from a number of clubs from across the continent.
The 23-year-old is just about to enter the final 12 months of his current contract with Leipzig and has indicated that he does not want to extend his deal any further.
When a really big club comes in for him and he wants to leave, he can still do that.
Ralf Rangnick
However, Ralf Rangnick, who is just about to leave his post as Die Roten Bullen head coach, believes that Werner should think again before deciding to move on.
He told Kicker: "Timo is of the opinion that he does not want to extend the contract, but so far no club has reported their interest or said they would speak with Timo and want to sign him.
"It's not a good idea for Timo to go into the final year of his contract, which could be difficult for his relationship with the fans, depending on how his performance turns out.
"My opinion is that Timo fits best here, also in terms of style of play. If I were his agent or father, I would clearly advise him to stay and extend his contract.
"When a really big club comes in for him and he wants to leave, he can still do that."
Werner has scored 61 goals in 114 appearances during his three seasons with Die Bullen, having started his career with VfB Stuttgart.
On the international stage he has netted ten times in 25 outings for Die Mannschaft.
RB Leipzig are 14/1 to win the Bundesliga title next season, with Bayern Munich 1/4 and Borussia Dortmund 9/2.
