Fast, effective, and affordable. That’s how we could characterize the deal that RB Leipzig made with Chelsea and returned Timo Werner. The German international arrived in Germany last night, immediately underwent a medical examination and signed a four-year contract. Taking a picture with the jersey is only a formality and we can already expect him on the field on Saturday when Leipzig hosts Cologne in the second round of the Bundesliga.EINMAL LEIPZIG, IMMER LEIPZIG ❤️🔥 pic.twitter.com/dxem0a6WXa— RB Leipzig (@RBLeipzig) August 9, 2022 Regardless of the fact that Timo Werner has had two painful seasons in London, there is no doubt that this is one of the most significant transfers of this summer. The fast-footed striker believes that a return to the club that made him famous will revive him. That is precisely why writes Bild, he never even considered any other possibility. Werner wants to go to the World Cup in Qatar at all costs as Hansi Flick’s first attacking option and that was one of the key reasons for this move.Inter need to sell the promising Casadei to fix their finances, Chelsea offer $15 millionThis is why the figures make this job particularly interesting. While the mass of players changes clubs in order to get more money, Werner did so purely for sporting reasons. The German still had three full years left on his contract with Chelsea, according to which he was supposed to collect slightly more than 9 million euros (net) per season or about 27 in total. According to Bild’s information, Werner will be the highest paid in Leipzig, but with just over 5 million per year.

When you add up how much money they spent on Werner in these two years, there is no doubt that it is one of the biggest failures of the 21st century. Let us remind you that Abramovich allocated 53 million for his transfer, 11 more just for the signing, and then each of the two years spent at Stamford Bridge – 17 million each. Here we are talking about the full contract, so about the gross amount. When all that is added up, Chelsea spent 98 million euros on Tim Werner!

The Blues initially demanded 33 million, then lowered the fixed part to 25, and in the end, with pressure from the player to finish the job as soon as possible, agreed to Leipzig’s 20 million and certain bonuses, which according to some information could be final make the figure 10 million higher.##NAJAVA_MECA_6556942##In two seasons, Werner played 89 games for Chelsea, scored 23 and set up another 21 goals. It is interesting, however, that in the Premier League, against ’bigger’ clubs, he only scored once against Arsenal. In Saxony, on the other hand, they expect him to pick up where he left off when he left. With 90 goals, he is the best scorer in the history of the Bulls. In the space of ten days, RB Leipzig completed three fantastic jobs. In addition to the two German national team members – David Raum and Timo Werner, the Bulls also announced the arrival of Benjamin Sesko, the super-talented striker of RB Salzburg. The young Slovenian will join the German club in 2023, and the Bulls managed to persuade him to choose Leipzig over Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Real Madrid.
