Liverpool have been one of the savviest sides in world football for their transfer business over the last few seasons. However, this supposed Michael Edwards plan to snatch Timo Werner is something else, and the Reds have been marvelling at their sporting director’s coy plan to bring the German hitman to Anfield.

One particularly observant Liverpool fan spotted a circle developing between their own club, Bayern Munich and Chelsea, and as transfer merry grounds often come full circle, it would be no surprise to see Edwards manipulating the market to get what he wants, especially when what he wants is a multi-million pound striker who would only guarantee them the Premier League title.
With Bayern Munich after both Werner and Hudson-Odoi, if Liverpool could make the German’s sign Hudson-Odoi then they have a clear run at Werner. However, with Chelsea reluctant to sell the winger, if the Kopites were to register an interest in would force the Blues to let him leave for Bayern, as they’d never sell him to a rival. If that was to happen then Bayern would cool their interest in Werner, allowing the Reds to swoop for him, strengthening themselves and weakening Chelsea all in one fell swoop.

Exactly my take on it. Chelsea would never sell Odoi to us but is declaring interest is so we can get Werner

Liverpool fans cannot believe the genius of Michael Edwards and will hope he sticks around for years to come with his coy business in the transfer windows.
