“Manchester United is looking to sign Chelsea’s failure, Timo Werner.” 안전놀이터 ~
Werner, who moved to Chelsea for 53 million pounds (about 73 billion won) in June 2020, has scored close to 20 goals every season during his time at RB Leipzig. In particular, in the 2019-2020 season, he appeared in all 34 league games and scored 28 goals, ranking second in Bundesliga scoring.
However, at Chelsea, he failed to live up to expectations due to his lack of sharpness. He scored only 6 goals in 35 league games in the 2020-2021 season, and appeared in 21 league games in the 2021-2022 season, scoring 4 goals. In the end, Werner chose to return to Leipzig in the summer of 2022.
Werner, who moved to Leipzig, showed better performance than at Chelsea. But he is still not satisfied. He has scored 9 goals and 4 assists in 27 league games in the 2022-2023 season, and has 2 goals in 8 league games in the 2023-2024 season.
In this situation, one team has shown interest in recruiting Werner: Manchester United. Tribuna reported Reporter Rlettenberg’s report, saying, “Reporter Florian Plettenberg, a source from Germany’s ‘Sky’, reported that Manchester United has begun discussions with Leipzig about recruiting Werner.”
The media said, “Manchester United wants to bring Werner in the winter transfer market. However, discussions on specific contract terms and transfer fees have not yet progressed,” and added, “Manchester United recruited Mason Mount from Chelsea in this transfer window, but has not yet shown his potential. “He was unable to show it. He is expected to be absent further due to injury.”
Tribuna said, “Werner had a miserable time at Chelsea before returning to Leipzig. It was expected that things would change after returning to Leipzig, but according to reporter Plettenberg, Werner is not happy even in Germany,” and that Werner is not satisfied even after the transfer. added.
Meanwhile, Manchester United is in need of a striker. After leaving Cristiano Ronaldo, there is no striker who can provide reliable finishing in the attack. Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, and Alejandro Garnacho improved their senses by scoring against Everton, but their scoring ability is ridiculously lacking, and the newly recruited Rasmus Høirun has not yet adapted.
In this situation, it appears that they are preparing to recruit Werner, who has Premier League experience.
