Timo Werner obviously does not want to play for RB in the Champions League anymore. According to a media report, he plans to move to London as early as July.
RB Leipzig may have a big problem.
According to information from Bild, perhaps the biggest game of its short existence will have to be played without Timo Werner already.
Because the top striker only wants to finish the Bundesliga for the Saxons and then switch to Chelsea FC.
According to information, the deal is about to be closed. Werner can leave Leipzig due to an exit clause. According to the report, Werner wants to leave Leipzig for London immediately after the end of the Bundesliga (27 June).
Chelsea still plays in the Premier League until July 26th. When Werner would join the league would still have to be clarified.
He is not eligible for the return match in the Champions League round of sixteen of the Blues against FC Bayern Munich.
The UEFA wants to decide on Wednesday how and where the premier league will be finished – most likely in Lisbon in August. A statement on the players’ contractual situations is also to follow. The recommendation to play with the old squads is expected.
It will be interesting with changes like Werner. Who will ultimately decide on the duration of the contract, insurance etc. is still open.
