Newcastle have moved on to Timo Werner.
[골닷컴] Correspondent Choi Dae-hoon = Newcastle United are sending a love call to Chelsea’s Timo Werner, who is seeking a return to RB Leipzig.
On the 31st (local time), British media ‘Daily Star’ reported that “Newcastle have hopes that they can win Werner in the transfer window this summer by winning the competition against Leipzig.”
In the 2019-20 season, Werner wore a Leipzig jersey and devastated the German Bundesliga. He literally ‘carried’ the team, scoring 34 goals and 13 assists in 45 games in all competitions, including 28 goals and 8 assists in 34 league games.
After such a fantastic season, Werner joined Chelsea in the summer of 2020 for £47m. Werner’s performance in Germany was so great that opinions were divided that he would be able to conquer the Premier League after some adjustment period.
Contrary to expectations, however, Werner has lost his place at Chelsea with only 23 goals in 89 appearances so far. There are even rumors of a feud with manager Thomas Tuchel ahead of the upcoming season, and rumors that he will leave Chelsea this summer are gaining momentum.
While rumors abound that Werner will move to Leipzig, Newcastle have the upper hand in the race to sign Werner, according to the Daily Mirror. Newcastle, backed by Saudi Arabian capital, is working on a huge project to transform into a big club, making strengthening the striker position a priority.
It is true that a return to the Bundesliga is attractive to Werner, but Werner wants to succeed in the Premier League. Werner overturns public opinion that he has failed, and he is desperate to prove that he can succeed. Newcastle hinted that they could help Werner’s aspirations.
If Werner leaves Chelsea, it will be a one-season loan move, and if he can get back to Premier League adaptation and play through a loan to Newcastle, Chelsea can still hope to use Werner as a key player for the club. .
If Werner leaves for Leipzig and performs well in the Bundesliga again, Werner will hope to stay in Germany, which will make it difficult for Chelsea to recoup the transfer fee they have invested in his signing. Chelsea are expected to dispose of Werner, but will make a decision after considering which option will benefit the club.
