Werder Bremen attacker Milot Rashica is reportedly ready to join RB Leipzig this summer as he feels that a move to Liverpool 'could come too soon for him'.
The 23-year-old has been in impressive form at club level during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring 10 times and providing five assists in 24 appearances in all competitions.
Liverpool have been strongly linked with the Kosovo international, but a recent report claimed that Leipzig had also put themselves firmly in the running for his signature.
According to Weser Kurier, Rashica is favouring a move to the Bundesliga side as he fears that joining Jurgen Klopp's side - where opportunities would be limited - at this stage of his development could be damaging.
The attacker, who has scored seven times in the Bundesliga this season, is believed to have a £33m release clause inserted into his current Bremen deal.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have reportedly also fallen behind Inter Milan in the race to sign Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali during this summer's transfer window.
