In mid-December, Timo Werner got one of his few games from the start against Rangers, after forty-five minutes on the pitch, the Spurs manager couldn’t bear to see the 28-year-old underdeliver anymore. There was some playing time for the German for the rest of the year, after the New Year the German winger has been out with a hamstring injury. There is little doubt that the Spurs manager would prefer to have Werner out of the squad with room for reinforcements, now Postecoglou can get his wish, but needs help from Klopp.
Footmeracato reports MLS club New York Red Bulls, yes, one of the clubs Jürgen Klopp is in charge of, is in talks about a contract with Timo Werner.
The 28-year-old wants to leave, Tottenham have no use for the German for the rest of the season, the MLS club sees the potential for something they need on American turf. Should have been a done deal, but there are four parties who must agree.
Werner is on loan to Tottenham from RB Leipzig, who also have no room for the former top scorer in the Bundesliga. Thus, Spurs and the Bundesliga club must first agree to break the contract that runs until the end of the season. Only then can the Red Bull club in the United States negotiate with its big sister in Leipzig about a lease or permanent transfer. In addition, Werner has to accept the personal terms that are probably well below the ones he has today.
We’re betting that Jürgen Klopp will be involved and make sure that RB player Timo Werner, with a contract until 2026 at RB Leipzig, will be of the most use to the RB family. That is, in MLS.
Then the Tottenham management is probably betting on former rival Jürgen Klopp to help pull the right strings.
