According to media reports, national soccer player Timo Werner will sign a new contract with Bundesliga club RB Leipzig on Tuesday. This is reported by the "image".
Sky also reported that the deal between Chelsea FC and the DFB Cup winner was perfect for around 20 million euros plus bonuses. According to "Bild" information, Werner will receive a five-year contract with the Saxons. The 26-year-old is already expected in Leipzig on Monday (today).
"Fix is basically a deal for me when it's signed. I can say: We haven't signed a new player and haven't signed anything anywhere," said managing director Oliver Mintzlaff on Sunday at DAZN.
Werner was no longer in Thomas Tuchel's squad for Chelsea's opening game in the Premier League at FC Everton (1-0) on Saturday.
Werner switched from Leipzig to FC Chelsea in 2020 for around 55 million euros, after having previously played very successfully at RB from 2016 and becoming a national player. In England, the attacker was often just a reservist. In order not to jeopardize his participation in the World Cup, Werner wants to leave Chelsea.
