Timo Werner Steps into the Americas: A Possible Move to New York
It seems like Timo Werner, the German striker who once shone at Chelsea, is eyeing a fresh start in the States. Reports suggest he might be signing with New York.
After his less-than-stellar stint at Tottenham Hotspur, Werner appears to be aiming for a second chance in America. According to sources from "Leipzig Volkszeitung", Werner, a 29-year-old former RB Leipzig player, is on the brink of joining Red Bull New York.
Werner's contract with Leipzig runs until 2026's summer. He spent the last year and a half on loan with Tottenham Hotspur, but only managed 41 appearances, netting just three goals. With the London club deciding against a permanent commitment, Werner seems ready for greener pastures.
Recent whispers point to him meeting his former Leipzig teammate, Emil Forsberg, in the Big Apple. Forsberg currently plays for Major League Soccer's Red Bulls, managed by Sandro Schwarz.

If the move to the Red Bulls materializes, Werner, who donned the DFB jersey 57 times, would reconnect with his Leipzig mate. If the deal goes through, Werner will transfer for roughly 20 million euros, significantly less than the 53 million he was sold to Chelsea in 2020[1][2][3][4].
Worth noting, if Werner joins the Red Bulls, he'd find himself playing alongside Emil Forsberg and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, with the Red Bulls possessing an open Designated Player spot that might accommodate Werner.
Although the formalities have yet to be ironed out, all parties seem eager to make this exciting union happen. Negotiations between the clubs have been underway since summer 2024, with optimism from both sides for a resolution during the MLS secondary transfer window, set from July 24 to August 21, 2025[1][2][3][4].
So, get ready, New York—Timo Werner may soon join the Red Bulls' roster for the upcoming season!
Timo Werner, once a prominent figure in European-leagues like the Premier-league and Bundesliga, might be shifting his focus to American-football with a potential move to Red Bull New York.
