Werner is probably the most well-known name on this list, and he's been inching towards a big-money move away from Leipzig for quite some time now.

He's still only 22, but Werner has already established himself as Germany's first choice centre forward, scoring nine goals from 23 caps.

Into his third season with Leipzig, he has an impressive return of 55 goals from 100 appearances, including 11 in the Bundesliga this season.

Werner was a part of Germany's successful Confederations Cup campaign in 2017, assisting Lars Stindl's goal against Chile in the final. In terms of trophies, it's the only major honour he's won so far, but he also holds several impressive records - like being the youngest player to reach 100 Bundesliga appearances.

Bayern Munich and Liverpool are the two major giants chasing the striker, but Leipzig seem pretty confident that they can hold on to him.

But while the Germans have done well to establish themselves in the top flight since gaining promotion, they're nowhere close to Bayern or Dortmund in terms of challenging for the title. In the end, Werner's search for silverware might lead him to a move away from Leipzig.
