Werner – who has one year left on his current deal – was expected to join the Bundesliga champions as competition for Robert Lewandowski.

The arrival of Julian Nagelsmann could convince the 23-year-old to extend his contract, while adding a Bayern-specific release clause.

But a renewal seems unlikely with Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Uli Hoeness confirming a mutual interest between club and player.

Werner scored 16 goals in 30 Bundesliga appearances last season.
