Liverpool pulled out of the running to sign Timo Werner for financial reasons. But according to the latest CIES Football Observatory transfer value list, his £50million release clause is actually a bargain price.
The 299th edition of the weekly post values Werner at a cool £90.3m, suggesting Chelsea have orchestrated a superb bit of business.
Liverpool were hot favourites to sign the Germany international, but the coronavirus pandemic has created all sorts of financial uncertainty.
As a result, Jurgen Klopp was forced to contact Werner - who favoured a move to Liverpool himself - to inform him they would not be pursuing him at this time.
