Finally, RB Leipzig boss confirms Timo Werner move to Chelsea

According to METRO, RB Leipzig head coach Julian Nagelsmann has finally confirmed Timo Werner will leave the club, with Chelsea expected to complete a deal for the striker.

However, Liverpool had been leading the race to sign the 24-year-old, who had even held talks with Jurgen Klopp over a potential move to Anfield.

But Chelsea have moved ahead of the Premier League leaders in the race to sign Werner as they are closing in on a £53 million move.

The Germany international has already agreed a switch to Stamford Bridge and is reportedly given the green light to a contract worth £170,000 a week.

Nagelsmann’s recent statement also appears to confirm that Werner’s move to Chelsea is all but complete ahead of the summer transfer window.

When asked about Werner’s future before RB Leipzig’s 2-0 win over Hoffenheim on Friday evening, Nagelsmann told DAZN: ‘I do not expect Timo to be here next season.’ he’s leaving us!
