Report: Leipzig ready to freeze Timo Werner out unless he finds a new club | OneFootball

RB Leipzig are eager to offload Timo Werner and remove him from their payroll following his return from a loan spell at Tottenham.

According to Bild, the Bundesliga club have put serious pressure on the striker to find a new club.

If Werner doesn’t leave, the 29-year-old could be completely frozen out of the squad, as the club has no plans for him to feature – not even in pre-season friendlies.

The forward has been linked with RB Leipzig’s sister club, the New York Red Bulls, but recent reports have suggested that a move to the MLS club is off the table due to his wage demands.

Werner currently earns a reported €10 million per year, making him one of Leipzig’s highest-paid players.
