Chelsea is in the Final Stage of Timo Werner’s Transfer Completion

DBasia.news – Chelsea are reported to be in the final stages of completing Timo Werner’s transfer. Both parties, Chelsea and RB Leipzig (Werner’s club at the moment) are negotiating the details of the transfer.

The Blues – Chelsea’s nickname – are rumored to be purchasing Werner for 55 million euros in accordance with his purchase clause. Frank Lampard’s team wants to recruit top attackers to compete with Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud.

Some time ago Nagelsmann still hoped that his flagship attacker would stay. The 32-year-old coach considered Leipzig to lose Timo Werner like Bayern Munich lost Robert Lewandowski.

“I think he (Werner) now has 34 goals this season. So I think you should mention that I want to keep him. That is an outstanding quality,” Nagelsmann stated.

“If he leaves for the next season there will be a big gap. It’s like if Robert Lewandowski left Bayern Munich. Nobody would shout ‘hooray’ I think. They will obviously weaken and it’s the same as us,” he added.

But after Leipzig’s 2-0 win over Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga match, Nagelsmann changed his mind and was pessimistic about Werner’s defense. “I predict that Timo won’t be here next season,” Nagelsmann told DAZN.

Timo Werner entered into Chelsea’s plans to build a long-term squad. Chelsea had previously confirmed Hakim Ziyech’s transfer and tried to complete Werner’s transfer with Leicester City left-back, Ben Chilwell.
