What has been an open secret for a long time is now official: Tottenham Hotspur will leave after his one and a half years of loan and return to RB Leipzig. The Spurs make no use of the purchase option of 15 million euros, so that it was adopted together with Fraser Forster, Alfie Whiteman and Sergio Reguilón. How it goes on for the 29-year-old is uncertain.
Werner, who had been wearing the Spurs jersey since January 2024, scored three goals in 41 missions and prepared seven more. The native of Stuttgart never belonged to the regular staff and had to face the criticism of his trainer. “We don’t have many options in the current situation. I expect everyone to at least try to do their best. His performance in the first half was not acceptable,” said Poseteclou in December (to the article).
Since a thigh injury in mid -January, Werner has only completed eight minutes at 0-1 against Manchester City for the Spurs. The Leipzig loan was not reported for the co-phase of the Europa League and in the Premier League he has not been in the squad since bankruptcy against the Citizens. In the most recent market value update of the Premier League, he went from EUR 10 million to EUR 7 million-from his career maximum value of EUR 80 million from March 2020 there is no longer a tenth.
In Leipzig you want to get Werner from the salary list as quickly as possible, because with a rumored salary of EUR 10 million gross gross every year he is one of the top earners in the club. His contract runs until 2026, so this summer is the last chance for adequate transfer. So far, there are no specific interested parties for the 57-time international.
