One certainty that has been common knowledge since the US tour is Werner's fixed mindset on wanting to leave the club and RB Leipzig seem to have beaten the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Juventus to the Blues number 11. This is because as per Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg, the Chelsea attacker is on the verge of re-joining his former club due to the 'positive' developments in the last few days. The Blues, who have spent money so far on defensive and attacking reinforcements, are set to continue a spending spree that could rise up to £300m amid strong rumours surrounding Wesley Fofana and Frenkie de Jong respectively.

In a season where Bayern Munich is making a speedy attack all the rage, RB Leipzig is trying to counter that with its own set of lightning-fast forwards. We expect a loan with an option to buy.— Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) August 7, 2022 The move should benefit Werner’s status with the German national team as well. Things, however, would not always be great for Werner at Chelsea as the squad was overloaded with forwards and also offered little consistency for him and most other younger players. Been told it will be a permanent deal and NOT loan. Leipzig are set to sign Timo Werner from Chelsea, here we go!
