"So far no club has reported their interest or said they would speak with Timo or want to sign him.
"My opinion is that Timo fits best here, also in terms of style of play.
"If I were his advisor or father, I would clearly advise him to stay and extend his contract."
Rangnick is under no impression that Werner will remain at Leipzig for the remainder of his career, indicating that if a big club were to come in for the youngster he would not stand in his way.
"When a really big club comes in for him and he wants to leave, he can still do that," he added.
