Timo Werner no longer has a future at Chelsea – but the DFB star is about to return to the Bundesliga. Now it can go very quickly.
Will RB Leipzig follow up with a top-class player in the competition at the top of the Bundesliga? “Sky” now reports: Timo Werner’s return from Chelsea to the Saxons is nearing completion.
According to this, the negotiations between the parties involved have accelerated in the last few days in such a way that the national player is expected to return to the DFB Cup winners in the coming week.

The “Bild” reported on Sunday afternoon that Leipzig Werner even wants to buy him back after he left the club for London for 53 million euros two years ago. The 26-year-old is expected to sign a four or five-year contract. “Sport1” reports a fee of around 30 million euros.
It would be a spectacular return. Werner’s contract actually runs until 2025. In the meantime, however, Werner no longer has any prospects of a regular place under Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel. At the start of the Premier League season on Saturday at Everton FC, the attacker was no longer in the London squad.
