Timo Werner Experiences Prolonged Absence from Play
New Article:
Looks like Timo Werner's comeback to RB Leipzig isn't going as smoothly as expected. The national team player is still nursing an adductor injury and won't be suiting up for tomorrow's match versus 1. FC Heidenheim, as confirmed by coach Marco Rose. There's a possibility of a winter transfer looming. With Werner being Leipzig's highest-paid player and under contract until 2026, a loan deal could be on the table.
It appears that Werner's performance at Leipzig is leaving something to be desired, prompting the club to consider offloading him to lighten their financial load by around 20%. Interest from Turkish clubs, such as Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor, has emerged, making them potential suitors. Leipzig seems to be in a hurry to close a deal, setting a bargain price around €4m (approximately £3.4m - £4m).
Previously, Werner returned to Leipzig from Chelsea in early June 2025, putting pen to paper on a four-year deal, ending in summer 2026. Chelsea sold him back to Leipzig for an initial fee around £20m, with additional add-ons raising the total to £25m. Despite the transfer fee, Werner has been having a tough time at the club, and the management is keen to get him off their books quickly.
All in all, it looks like RB Leipzig is eager to get rid of Timo Werner this winter, with Turkish clubs showing interest in a deal worth around €4m. Despite his recent signing and a sizable release clause, Leipzig seems to prioritize trimming costs and moving Werner on as soon as possible.
- Timo Werner's future at RB Leipzig remains uncertain, as European leagues' clubs might be interested in acquiring him, given his struggles at his current club and the potential for a winter transfer.
- The possibility of a transfer value around €4m (approximately £3.4m - £4m) could see Timo Werner leave RB Leipzig for a European league, with his last stint in the English Premier League with Chelsea now seemingly in the rearview mirror.
