When everything pointed out that Timo Werner would end up staying one more year at RB Leipzig Chelsea appears out of nowhere to sign one of the fashionable strikers in the Bundesliga and across Europe. That, at least, is what advances the German newspaper Sport Bild, which takes for granted the incorporation of Werner to the Blues. starting next year with a contract until 2025 and a salary of ten kilos per year. In this way, one of the soap operas of recent years ends, presumably, since the German international had sounded strongly for Liverpool, who seemed on pole to take over the usually speedy Werner.
Always according to Sport Bild, Chelsea will pay the termination clause for Werner, which amounts to a figure of around 60 million euros. It will have to do so before June 15, at which time this contractual guideline would expire and force Werner to fulfill one more year of his recently renewed contract in East Germany until 2023. Karlheinz Förster, representative of the German battering ram, did not want to confirm the operation at first, so everything will continue to be a rumor until the clubs and the player make it official.
Werner is not a stranger on the European scene after numerous seasons in the top German competition, signing true killer figures. This year, he is in second place in the Bundesliga goalscorer ranking with a total of 25 goals in his favor, just four behind Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski. Precisely Bayern was one of the teams that, at the time, went for the 24-year-old, but his plans revolved around the Premier. Then Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool took the lead until, now, Chelsea seem to have signed a footballer who provides punch and instinct like few others at European level.
