We are on the threshold of one of the biggest and most important deals this summer. As reported by Florian Plettenberg from SPORT1, negotiations between Chelsea and RB Leipzig are in the final stage, which means that only details separate Timo Werner (26) from his return to Leipzig.It has been mentioned in recent days that the German striker has the option of returning to his homeland, but there was no hint that it could happen so soon. In recent days, however, there have been positive developments. The player’s desire to return to the club that made him famous following a dry spell at Chelsea was key.”Timo wants to come back and he will come back. Expect a full agreement in the next week,” Plettenberg wrote.Leipzig are set to sign Timo Werner from Chelsea, here we go! Been told it will be a permanent deal and NOT loan. Werner will leave Chelsea. 🚨⚪️🔴 #CFCFirst call @Plettigoal today, now final details being discussed – it’s done, personal terms are agreed since 1 month. pic.twitter.com/RCnqNZAUFZ— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 7, 2022 For now, there is no talk about the numbers i.e. what part of the invested money the Blues could recover. All of it certainly not, because Werner’s price has dropped significantly in the meantime. A reminder, Chelsea bought him for 53 million euros, and the value of the German striker currently does not exceed 35 million.When it comes to the arrangement, it is certain that it is a loan with the right of a buyout. It will certainly be interesting to see what that figure will be…Werner has a firm contract with Chelsea, but the fact that he is not on the same wavelengths with Thomas Tuchel. The player he does not manage to reach the form two or three years ago, and the fact that the club from London spends about 17 million euros on him annually reduces his market price even more.In the previous days, information appeared that Werner was offered to Real Madrid, but this was soon denied by several sources close to the player and the club itself.##NAJAVA_MECA_6548716##Werner’s desire is a well-known environment. To get back in shape and to travel to the World Cup in Qatar as Germany’s first-choice striker. By staying at Chelsea, it would be difficult for him to fight for such status under Hansi Flick.A new adventure is what he needs the least right now. For this reason, he will be ready for a drastic salary reduction.Good news for Bundesliga fans, a formidable tandem is on the horizon: Werner – Nkunku.
