Chelsea striker Timo Werner looks set to try and revive his form at another club after the Blues have reportedly agreed to send him out on loan.
Werner has failed to hit the heights at Stamford Bridge from his RB Leipzig years since making a move back in 2020 for a fee of £48 million.
The striker as a result has often warmed the bench at Chelsea than take the field. Further on, his recent fall-out with manager Thomas Tuchel has pushed him closer towards the door.
His former side RB Leipzig and Italian giants Juventus have shown interest in signing Werner, either on loan or permanent basis as Chelsea too are ready to entertain offers for their wantaway striker.
Fabrizio Romano updates on Timo Werner situation
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has talked about Timo Werner’s situation at the club over finding a solution to his uncertain future.
The Italian journalist on Twitter wrote, “Chelsea are prepared to let Timo Werner leave on loan and it could also include a buy option. He’s in both Juventus and RB Leipzig lists, nothing close to be completed yet.”
Juventus want to reinforce their attack after Paulo Dybala left and negotiations for signing Atletico striker Alvaro Morata on a permanent deal has hit roadblock.
Elsewhere, Leipzig have failed to replace Werner since he left for Chelsea. The German side are hence circling around their former striker to bring him back.
However, the Blues are reportedly planning to give Werner another chance to redeem himself. Chelsea are willing to wait until the end of next season to take a final decision on Werner’s future.
On the other hand, the German has grown impatient over lack of opportunities at the club with the World Cup not far away.
Werner wants regular game-time in order to be in his best shape ahead of representing Germany at the World Cup.
While Tuchel can’t guarantee him the same at Chelsea, Werner has suggested that he could leave Stamford Bridge.
“I could be happy everywhere. It is hard to say (why I’ve struggled for game time),” said Werner last week.
He further added, “I didn’t ask but I think of course the manager always has different ideas, different thoughts and what you need in different games, I think in many games I was not in his thoughts so I try to change that.
“It is clear I want to play more and I should play more to first be in good shape for the World Cup and also, to have a chance to play at the World Cup.”
Meanwhile, Newcastle United are also interested according to Romano but ‘have not opened direct talks to sign Timo’.
