The Germany international forward was long linked with a switch to Bayern Munich, but should he opt to leave Germany then Liverpool were said to be at the front of the queue to sign the 23-year-old.
Werner - who has scored 10 goals in 25 appearances for Germany - would have seen his deal at Leipzig run out in the summer, when he could have left for free, but he ended up signing a new contract just hours before scoring in Leipzig's 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.
When asked about a possible move in the summer by Sport Buzzer , he replied: "I don't exclude anything. I am and remain a player of RB Leipzig.”
Werner added that the addition of Julian Nagelsmann as Leipzig coach this summer helped him made up his mind to stay.
“Of course, that also played a role in my thinking," he continued.
