The striker’s return to Leipzig is closed and his departure makes it possible for the Barça striker to arrive
Werner will leave transferred after two years as ‘blue’ in which he never finished settling
Timo Werner is very close to returning to RB Leipzig. The Chelsea striker, who after two years in England has not finished taking shape, will return to the team where he was happy and that launched him to stardom. In this way, Tuchel’s team makes room in their lead, where he yearns for incorporate Aubameyang despite the insistence of the player (and Xavi) to continue in Barcelona.
Several days ago the operation between Chelsea and Leipzig was rumored and finally it seems that the negotiations have come to fruition. In addition, it will be in the form of a transfer, not as a transfer with a purchase option or any other method that had sounded.
This was confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, a journalist specialized in the transfer market and who pointed out that the agreement is already complete and the documents are already being prepared to be made official this coming week.
Werner arrived at Chelsea in the summer of 2020 in exchange for 53 million euros but after two courses his balance has been poor with respect to the expectations generated. He has played 89 games as a ‘blue’, signing 23 goals and 21 assists. They are not bad numbers, although the feeling is that he could have done much more.
With Leipzig, in four years, he played 156 games and reached 90 goals and 40 assists. They will be figures that from the next campaign you will be able to swell.
