Sadio Mane and Naby Keita have urged Timo Werner to join Liverpool this summer.
A decision is expected to be made on Werner’s future at the end of this season as he prepares to enter the final 12 months of his current contract with RB Leipzig.
Bayern Munich remain the forerunners for the Germany international’s signature should he leave the Bundesliga outfit but the Reds are also said to be in the hunt.
Keita left Leipzig for Anfield last summer in a £52.75 million deal and has backed former teammate Werner to follow his lead in the event of leaving the Red Bull Arena.
“We played really well together at Leipzig, and he was one of my best mates,” he told Sport Bild.
“It’s clear: Should he move, then I ask Timo to join us here at Liverpool.”
Mane added: “I’d advise him to join Liverpool. I like his style of play.
“Very forceful, good finish, always giving it 100 percent. If he wants to join us, we’d welcome him to our team.
“When it was clear that Naby would join us, I often watched Leipzig matches. But to be honest: It was dreadful for me at the start. Naby saw quite a few red cards.
“I then asked Kevin Kampl, my friend from our time at RB Salzburg, why Naby always got sent off. He didn’t know.
“Naby missed some important games and I could watch other players more closely. And Timo stood out.”
