RB Leipzig is confident to re-sign Chelsea striker, Werner
RB Leipzig is confident to re-sign Chelsea striker, Werner started 29 league games in his first season with the Blues. But he was only included in 15 Premier League starting lineups in the last term.
Due to the decrease in his playing time, he has been linked with a move away. He is in talks to move in a bid to play regularly ahead of the World Cup.
Leipzig is believed to be in the leading position in the race for Werner. The Bundesliga club is confident that a deal can be completed.
Die Roten Bullen has made attempts to secure a return for a player that scored 93 goals in 158 appearances for the club. He left to join Chelsea in 2020.
Leipzig is expected to face competition from the likes of Juventus. They are still interested in the German international. They are prepared to game up their pursuit if they are unable to re-sign Alvaro Morata.
RB Leipzig is confident that they can agree to a deal to re-sign Timo Werner from Chelsea.
Talks between the two clubs are running in full swing. The Bundesliga club is exploring all possibilities to acquire Werner. They are exploring options like a loan or permanent deal.
Chelsea signed him two years ago from Leipzig. But he has been unable to replicate and produce the goal-scoring form. This performance prompted the Blues to activate his £45m release clause.
Werner shows interest in the move as he wants to get regular game time. He wants to secure a starting spot in Hansi Flick’s Germany team at the World Cup. The World Cup is set to take place in November.
His relationship with Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel seems to be an issue. But Tuchel is unwilling to let the forward leave.
Juventus are also interested in acquiring Werner. They have kept him as an option if they don’t have a deal with their main target Alvaro Morata.
The head coach of RB Leipzig, Domenico Tedesco didn’t want to comment on a possible Werner deal. He wanted to save his comments before the German Super Cup final on Saturday.
Werner has bagged 23 goals in 89 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea. But he started 15 Premier League games last season where he scored four times.
On the other hand, Chelsea is also willing to sign Brighton left-back Marc Cucurella. They are ready to pay the £50m asking price for the Manchester City target.
