Chelsea and Tottenham's 'Eatoutu' Werner have already failed to completely transfer to Tottenham. Originally from Germany, he returned to his original team, RB Leipzig. However, Leipzig reportedly informed him of 'release'.
Germany's Bild' reported on the 8th (Korea time) that Werner was informed that he would no longer be able to play in Leipzig. Werner faced the biggest crisis in his career just two weeks after marrying Paula, who he had been dating for eight years.
He has one year left on his contract with Leipzig. His annual salary is 8.6 million pounds (about 16 billion won). The New York Red Bulls, a sister club in Leipzig, have offered to recruit the team.
The contract period was two and a half years, but the annual salary fell to 3.5 million pounds (about 6.5 billion won). Werner is said to have rejected this offer, and Leipzig has also decided to 's hand-off'.
Werner has not played for Leipzig since December 2023. He nestled in Tottenham in January last year. In his first season, he played in 13 matches in the English Premier League, scoring two goals and three assists. He ended the season early with a hamstring injury in the last minute.

But Werner failed to turn the tables. He played in 18 games in the EPL during the 2024-2025 season, but only made four starts. There's no goal. It's only three assists. In all competitions, he only scored one goal and had three assists in 27 games.
Werner suffered another hamstring injury, and his last appearance as a substitute against Manchester City was on February 27. Tottenham has decided not to activate the 12 million euros (about 19 billion won) option following Werner's full recruitment.
Former Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou criticized Werner head-to-head after drawing 1-1 with Rangers (Scotland) in the Europa League stage on December 13 last year. Werner, a former member of the German national team, shot at him for being worse than players under the age of 18.
The EPL was not 'Land of Promises'. Chelsea transfused Werner in July 2020. At that time, the transfer fee was 45 million pounds (about 84 billion won). But it was a failure.
He played for Chelsea for two seasons. He played in 56 EPL matches and scored 23 goals in 89 matches, including 10 goals. Werner returned to his old team, Leipzig, in August 2022 and returned to the EPL through Tottenham.
He also failed at Tottenham, and the future is in the fog.
