RB Leipzig: Loan from Timo Werner to Tottenham Hotspur perfect

Second RB farewell to London

Timo Werner’s loan to Tottenham Hotspur is perfect. The 27-year-old is leaving RB Leipzig until the end of the season and could possibly stay in London longer. Because: The “Spurs” secured a purchase option, which according to “The Athletic“ is placed in the range of 15 million to 20 million euros. “Sky” limits the transfer fee to between 17 million and 18 million euros.

The English are also reportedly covering the entire salary of the 57-time national player and top earner at RB. It is said that Leipzig will save 5 million euros through the deal. Werner barely played in the first half of the season and only played 386 minutes across 14 games. Because of the strong competition from veteran Yussuf Poulsen (29) and the newcomers Loïs Openda (23) and Benjamin Sesko (20), the Stuttgart native was only the number four center forward.

“He wants to go to the European Championships, and maybe it will help us if he comes back in top condition under certain circumstances,” said RB coach Marco Rose after the 1-0 win in the test against Swiss first division club FC St. Gallen (1-0 ) on Saturday. “We’re keeping our fingers crossed for him that he gets back on his feet there and gains self-confidence.”

For Werner, Tottenham is the second stop in London after he played for Chelsea between 2020 and 2022. At the peak of his career, the attacker moved to the Blues for a fee of 53 million euros, where he was involved in 44 goals in 89 games, but was unable to consistently deliver his performances from his RB days. Leipzig brought Werner back for 20 million euros.
