Negotiations are ongoing, but as of now, no contract agreement has been reached with Werner regarding his role in the RB team.
Going Full Steam Ahead with Ole Werner
Shit's getting real for RB Leipzig, who're haggling hard with Ole Werner, the ex-coach of Werder Bremen. But it ain't a done deal yet - both parties are still pounding out the details, according to the Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa).
The Fresh Prince of German football, Werner, has been eying this shot at reviving Leipzig's glory days. They've been in a bit of a pickle last season, ending seventh without a ticket to any international competitions - a dismal first for the Saxons.
Speaking of tickets, Werner's own ticket with Werder Bremen? That's up in the air right now. His current contract runs until 2026, so the question is: who's gonna cough up the dough for releasing him?
Splashing the Cash or Climbing Down?
The price tag for setting Werner free might be a hefty €9 million, thanks to a clause in his contract. But Leipzig ain't exactly jumping at the chance to shell out that much cash, especially considering Werner's contract isn't ending for another year. They're[1][3][4] negotiating for a more budget-friendly deal, but Werder Bremen's yet to budge.
The Coaching Contenders
Before making Werner the top dog, Leipzig tossed around a few other names. Cesc Fàbregas (Como) and Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace) were in the running[1], but talks didn't go anywhere. Jacob Neestrup was another option, but he chose to stay put with FC Copenhagen[5]. With these candidates out of the game, it looks like Werner's the cream of the crop.
And there's one more dude Leipzig's been eyeing[2], but info on him is scant. Sketchy, but thrilling - ain't football always some kind of rodeo?

Ole Werner, the potential new coach for RB Leipzig, has shown interest in European football leagues, specifically Fußball (football). If he joins the Saxons, he could propel the team back to the glory days, as they struggled last season without qualifying for any international competitions.
The negotiations between RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen for Werner's services are ongoing, with the former seeking a more cost-effective deal, considering the high price tag of €9 million and Werner's contract expiration date in 2026. Despite this, Werder Bremen hasn't shown signs of compromise yet.
