RB Leipzig overtake Madrid and Newcastle for Timo Werner

Timo Werner is set to leave Chelsea during this transfer window. Several clubs have been interested in the Germany international after learning of his situation in England, but according to Florian Plettenburg, he already has a destination in mind.

RB Leipzig are reportedly ahead of Real Madrid and Newcastle in the race for the German. The deal will not involve a loan, but will be a permanent transfer. In this way, the striker will put an end to his journey in London after two seasons in which he has not performed at his best.

Meanwhile, RB Leipzig have secured the services of a well-established striker who does not need a period of adaptation to either the club or the Bundesliga. Furthermore, Chelsea are active in the market for a striker and have been linked with FC Barcelona's Aubameyang.
