Chelsea forward Timo Werner has made a surprising return move to RB Leipzig after two seasons in London, the clubs confirmed.
According to ESPN, the German international’s move will cost around €30 million ($30.6 million) as he returns to Leipzig, where he spent four seasons before moving to Chelsea in a £47.5 million move in 2020.
Despite winning the Champions League with Chelsea in 2020-21, the 26-year-old has struggled at Stamford Bridge with only 10 goals in 56 appearances over the last two years. Meanwhile, reports around England suggest that Werner may have fallen out of favor with manager Thomas Tuchel despite the departure of forward Romelu Lukaku potentially clearing the way for playing time in a World Cup year.
