RB Leipzig coach Domenico Tedesco has refused to talk up the prospect of signing Chelsea striker Timo Werner.
The Germany international has been linked with a return to RBL this summer.
Asked about the prospect, Tedesco said: "Timo Werner is not my player, is not our player. He is a Chelsea player.
"Therefore, I have a clear opinion on this. Not to express myself, not to position myself around players who are not part of our club, who are not under contract with our club.
"In my opinion, it's a matter of respect. It is an important principle for me."
