Werner's Move to RB Leipzig for €2M Secured
Transfer of Werner to RB for up to €2 million completed.
Get ready for some exciting changes in the Bundesliga as Ole Werner, the mastermind behind Werder Bremen's resurgence, is all set to take charge at RB Leipzig! After days of negotiation and a breakdown in talks, both clubs have finally reached a deal, as confirmed by multiple media sources.
With Werner excited to sign a two-year contract, RB Leipzig will pay a release fee of approximately €2 million to Werder Bremen. The deal remains subject to an official signature, but all signs point to a successful conclusion for a move that's shaping up to be a major coup for Leipzig.
Ole Werner has been at the helm of Werder Bremen since 2021, leading them from the 2. Bundesliga to a comeback in the Bundesliga, followed by some impressive league finishes—13th, 9th, and 8th place, with a Champions League qualification fight even taking place during his tenure.
As Werner decided against renewing his contract past 2026, Werder Bremen had begun preparing for a new coach. Seizing this opportunity, RB Leipzig has used their resources to secure Werner as their new manager.
With stars like Xavi Simons and Benjamin Sesko possibly departing and a return to the top tier of the Bundesliga being the priority, Werner's recruitment is a crucial step for RB Leipzig, who are aiming to recover from a disappointing 7th-place finish in the 2024/25 season, their first miss on European business since they earned promotion to the Bundesliga.
The new coach will face a daunting task in shaping Leipzig's restructuring while ensuring the team reclaims its place among European heavyweights. Formalities are still pending, but it's clear that Ole Werner is ready to leave his mark on RB Leipzig and take them to new heights.
