However, Krosche says there has been no contact for Leipzig's Werner yet.
"There have been no inquiries, and Timo didn't contact us either," he told reporters on Friday.
"These rumours have been around for weeks. As of now, there is nothing new."
Krosche is convinced the COVID-19 crisis will have an influence on the next transfer window.
"It will be a different transfer market," Krosche said. "It will depend on whether leagues and the European competitions can be played to the end, because that means a lot of income."
