RB Leipzig chief executive Oliver Mintzlaff insists there's no panic around Timo Werner's plans for next season.

Werner has been open about hopes of joining Liverpool this summer.

But Mintzlaff told Sky Deutschland: "I'm deeply relaxed about Werner.

"He hasn't signalled yet that he wants to leave at the end of the season and he doesn't have to.

"He has a contract until 2023."
