Can Timo Werner reunite with Son Heung-min.
Reporter Florian Flettenberg, who works for Sky Sports in Germany and is very good at the German transfer market, said on the 24th (Korea time) "Werner's winter transfer is now possible. Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs in the U.S. are showing interest. RB Leipzig are ready to let him go for almost free. His contract is valid until 2026. He played only one minute this season," he reported.
Werner, who was once considered to be a world-class striker, has really fallen after joining Chelsea in the 2020-2021 season. He won the European Champions League (UCL) at Chelsea, but Werner's personal performance was terrible.
In the end, Werner, who spent two seasons at Chelsea and suffered a lot of criticism, returned to his home base in Leipzig in the summer of 2022. However, Werner, who has no longer become an important player in Leipzig, will wear a Tottenham uniform in the 2024 winter transfer market. Werner, who joined on loan, appeared to be resurrected, scoring two goals and four assists in 13 league games over a half-season period.
As a result, Tottenham extended Werner's loan contract for one season. However, Werner failed to capitalize on the possibility of a revival he showed by joining the 2023-2024 season. Former Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou tried to make sure Werner was revived while continuing to give him a chance early in the new season. Contrary to Postecoglou's choice and Werner's will, the player fell into an extreme slump.
Werner, who became a striker who lost his decision-making ability in front of the gate like a player caught in Yips in baseball, eventually began to be completely turned away by Postecoglou. In the second half, Werner only played eight minutes in the league. In the cup competition, Werner has become a difficult player to even see after his poor performance against the fifth-division club.
In the end, Werner failed to completely transfer to Tottenham and returned to Leipzig. Leipzig wanted to clear Werner, a high-paid player, but Werner turned down several interests and remained in Leipzig. Despite Werner's decision to stay, Leipzig is thoroughly excluding Werner. He played only one minute this season, becoming an extra-power resource. Now, Leipzig does not need a transfer fee, so they want to send Werner to save his salary.
Werner's likely next destination at the moment is the United States. Among the U.S., Red Bulls of New York, a Red Bull affiliated club like Leipzig, and LA Galaxy and LAFC, two clubs affiliated with LA, are mentioned. There is also a possibility of moving to a completely different club.
If Werner moves to LAFC, he will be reunited with Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min used a lot of energy for Werner when he was a teammate with Werner. Son Heung-min said, `I always want to make good friends and good teammates. 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"I even asked the club to stay with Werner. If the two players reunite, a new story will be written.
