The highly-rated striker, who has been heavily linked with Liverpool, has now confirmed that taking on a new challenge in a different league is more appealing to him than a switch to the German champions.
"Bayern are a great club, we don't need to talk about that. And Hansi Flick has proven that he's a really good head coach. But if a move should be an option at some point, I would rather move abroad than to Bayern," Werner told Bild and added:
"The challenge in another league would appeal more to me than a switch within the Bundesliga. Of course it also plays a role that the mutual appreciation should be at its maximum. That's why I chose RB Leipzig back then, and that's why I would choose a club that would give me that feeling again if I were to take the next step."
The German international has made 36 appearances this season with 27 goals and 12 assists to his name.
