The striker, who was supported by Son Heung-min, is now on the verge of being kicked out for a small transfer fee.
Germany's Bild reported on the 2nd (Korea time) that RB Leipzig wants Timo Werner out.
Bild said 'Werner left the team with Tottenham's farewell. Now he has a house to go back to, but he has no future. Leipzig's contract expires in 2026, but the club is struggling to sell him. According to the news, his transfer fee is only 4 million euros (about 6 billion won).

Werner joined Tottenham on loan in the winter transfer market in the 2023-2024 season. At that time, Tottenham needed a player to fill the vacancy while Son Heung-min left for the Asian Cup along with the reinforcement of the offense, and they found Werner, who was benched in RB Leipzig. Werner also wanted to rebound by gaining time to play, so he did not refuse Tottenham's courtship.
Werner was criticized by fans for his undulating performance, but he also showed his strengths by playing consistently. He scored two goals and three assists in 13 league games. It has also been reported that Werner wants a full transfer to Tottenham, with captain Son Heung-min also saying of Werner's full transfer "I can say I want him to stay."," he said, making no secret of his desire.
However, Tottenham was reluctant to fully recruit Werner and decided to give it another chance ahead of this season. It has agreed to extend the lease with Leipzig. Werner once again signed a contract to join Tottenham through a full transfer option, depending on whether he plays in this 2024-20205 season.

However, Werner's performance, who received a new opportunity, could not be seen. He played in 27 games and scored one goal and three assists. He has only four league starts. The economic impact is even worse. There was a lot of harsh criticism in every game he played. The active economy was in hand, and the poor decision showed no signs of rebounding. For Tottenham, the extension of the lease itself will also remain a loss. Eventually, after the end of the season, Tottenham sent Werner back to his original team, Leipzig.
Leipzig also have no intention of using Werner. It is said that it plans to sell even 6 billion won. Currently, the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) is considered as the likely destination for Werner. It is a shocking downfall for Werner, who played as one of the best strikers in the Bundesliga.
