Tottenham doesn't plan to recruit Timo Werner completely.
Reporter Florian Flettenberg, who is active in Sky Sports in Germany and is fluent in Bayern's internal news, said on his personal SNS on the 15th (Korea time), `Tottenham will not invoke the 12 million euros (about 19 billion won) full recruitment clause for Werner. As a result, he will return to RB Leipzig after the season, according to his current plans"
Werner left Leipzig in the 2023-2024 winter transfer market and wore a Tottenham jersey. At that time, Tottenham needed a new striker as Son Heung-min left for the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup and Hishalisson was injured. Coach Enze Postecoglou persuaded Werner, who had difficulty securing a chance to play in Leipzig, to bring him.
Tottenham added a full transfer clause by bringing Werner in. If Werner showed a good performance at Tottenham, he planned to completely recruit him. Werner made expectations by scoring attack points from his debut at Tottenham.
The advantages remained. Excellent space utilization and speed were alive. The problem is that there were still disadvantages. The decline in confidence and goal-scoring, which have been a problem since he was at Chelsea, showed no signs of reviving at Tottenham. Still, it melted well into Tottenham, and the relationship with Son Heung-min looked good.
At the end of last season, Son Heung-min said, `I always want to make good friends and good teammates. Werner seems willing to stay here. As a player, I want to help him make better choices than he is now. That's the job as a team member. We'll see what happens at the end of the season but I want Werner to stay"Unusually, he expressed his position on recruiting players."
Overall, Werner's last season was lacking something to fully recruit. In response, Tottenham decided to extend Werner's loan for another year. Werner, whose performance this season was important, started having his worst season. Last season, his goal-scoring ability was gradually improving, but he went back to square one this season. Although he has received a lot of opportunities to play, he has scored only one goal in 27 games.
During the season, Postecoglou openly gave an interview to blame Werner, and after that, Werner completely lost ground. Werner was also out of power due to a hamstring injury. Tottenham has no reason to hold on to Werner now because Son Heung-min, Wilson O'Dowbert, Matisse Tel and promising players Mikey Moore and Yang Min-hyuk are also there.
Still, Werner may stay in the English Premier League (EPL). Reporter Flettenberg "At the moment Werner is not willing to move within the German Bundesliga. There are still specific inquiries from the EPL and the United States. His current salary in Leipzig totaled 10 million euros (about 15.8 billion won) per year," he added.
