RB Leipzig is probably working on Werner’s return – salary waiver for change?

Turin & Newcastle are also interested

“I could be happy anywhere,” explained Timo Werner most recently at the “Times“. It is questionable whether the striker will find happiness at Chelsea in the short term. The Germany international has enjoyed the season with the fewest minutes and goals since 2015, when he was a frequent substitute at VfB Stuttgart. That’s why he could still leave the blues this summer – at least for a while.

According to reports, several clubs are interested in the attacker. transfer expert Fabrizio Romano brought Juventus Turin into play, according to “Sport Bild” the nouveau riche Newcastle United, who are said to have asked last autumn, are still wooing Werner. Of the “Leipziger Volkszeitung” and “sports1According to him, a return to RB Leipzig is also an issue. “Sky” had also reported on it.

According to the “LVZ”, there has been contact between CEO Oliver Mintzlaff and Werner for weeks. “Sport1” also writes that the clubs are also in exchange. According to this, Werner could well imagine a renewed engagement with the Saxons, who recently announced a profitable attacker in Brian Brobbey (20). Apparently only a loan is an option.

Because the right foot still has a contract with Chelsea until 2025 and would cost a high transfer fee. Added to this is his salary of 20 million euros, which makes him one of the top earners in the club. Although he is said to want to forego part of his salary in order to be able to return to RB, a total package would still be too expensive. The club from Stamford Bridge had signed Werner from Leipzig for 53 million euros in 2020, the Londoners only spent more on eight professionals in their history.

Since Chelsea change: Werner’s market value halved – striker needs regular appearances for the World Cup

Since then, the native of Stuttgart has not been able to assert himself in the long term. Last season he made just 21 appearances in the Premier League, scoring four goals and one assist. His market value has also halved since the transfer from €70 million to €35 million. With a view to the World Cup in winter, Werner is aiming for more regular assignments. “It’s clear that I want to play more and I should play more to be in good shape for the World Cup and to have the chance to play there,” he said recently.
