They sold him for 53 MILLIONS to Chelsea and now they WANT HIM BACK
The Blues did a terrible piece of business with him, and he could be on his way back to his former club
Very few things have worked out according to plan for Timo Werner since he joined Chelsea in 2020. The German striker hasn't been able to adjust to English football or perform at his best at Stamford Bridge. That's why he could be going back to where he first burst into the scene, RB Leipzig.

However, now most sources are pointing towards RB Leipzing as leading the race, and a return to the Bundesliga with the Roten Bullen for the striker, with whom he scored 93 goals in 158 games.
