RB Leipzig chief: 'We wouldn't sell a player below value if he wanted to'
RB Leipzig will not sell any player below value amid speculation linking the likes of Dayot Upamecano and Timo Werner with moves away from the club, says club CEO Oliver Mintzlaff.

"We have an outstanding squad and could easily start the new season with this squad. It's clear that we wouldn't sell a player below value if he wanted to," Mintzlaff told Sportbuzzer.
It has been reported that Dayot Upamecano would be prepared to force through a move this summer if no club want to meet his €60 million release clause.
Asked specifically about the centre-back, who will be able to leave the club on a free transfer at the end of his contract next year, Mintzlaff said:
"You can assume that we will have talks that will be to everyone's satisfaction."
