The 'Werner soap opera’Comes to an end. At least, that seems to be based on the latest information from his native Germany. The German forward of Leipzigdesired by average Europe facing the next season, it will finally end up in the Chelsea. According to Sport Bild, Timo Werner would have rejected Liverpool's option, who in recent times seemed to have tied his signing, and finally would have chosen to sign with the set of Stamford Bridge, than would pay its clause of around 60 million euros and would give the attacker a contract until June 2025 at the rate of 10 million euros for each of the five seasons included in it.
In the absence of official confirmation, this new turn of events would lead the 24-year-old forward to Chelsea instead of calling on the aforementioned Liverpool or the Barca, the two teams that have sounded the most as their possible destination when leaving the Leipzig.
It is hoped, however, that the official will not take too long to arrive, taking into account the fact that the current Werner stipulates that if that termination clause of around 60 million euros is not paid before June 15, the following course must remain in the Leipzig.
According to the aforementioned German media Karlheinz Förster, representative of the battering ram, neither confirmed nor denied the operation, so everything indicates that we will have to wait a few days to be able to talk about Timo Werner as a new player of Chelsea.
If the operation is confirmed, the signing of Timo Werner for him Chelsea it would be especially painful for him Liverpool, led by a Jürgen Klopp for which the German striker was a priority in order to reinforce his squad next year.
Werner would reach a Chelsea in which it would undoubtedly be one of the key pieces within a ‘blue’ project that, from the hand of Frank Lampard, he has a lot of emerging talent in his squad with Pulisic, Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham and company.
Although with the classification for the Champions League still in the air and as a duty to be done in the resumption of the Premier League, the Chelsea 2020/21 undoubtedly he would climb a quality step promoted by a Werner who has 25 goals so far Bundesliga, and also by Ziyech, whose arrival from Ajax has been closed for several months.
