The website "Fichajes" reported that Argentine star Lionel Messi has asked his club's management to take action to sign German striker Timo Werner from RB Leipzig during the upcoming winter transfer window.

Messi believes that Werner can add significant speed and important offensive flexibility to the frontline. He also sees him as the perfect reinforcement for the team. It is believed that the team captain wants to strengthen the attacking force with a player who has European experience and the ability to play in multiple attacking positions.

Werner, 29 years old, has experienced ups and downs in recent years. He struggled during his time at Chelsea before returning to Leipzig, and also had an unsuccessful loan spell with Tottenham Hotspur.

It is worth noting that the German striker's contract with Leipzig expires at the end of the current season, making his departure during the winter transfer window an easy option.
