Tottenham Hotspur initially took Timo Werner on a loan deal from RB Leipzig in the winter 2024 market and extended his temporary stay in the summer window.
The forward has failed to impress for Spurs this season as he managed a goal and three assists from 23 games and hasn’t scored from 16 Premier League matches.
There’s been suggestions the 28-year-old could leave Tottenham in the next window and Bild provides the latest.
The German’s return to the Bundesliga side in January is not on the cards and will fulfil his loan deal at Tottenham until the end of this season. Leipzig aren’t in favour of his early return as they don’t want to cover his €10m per year salary.
Ange Postecoglou has started Werner only three times in the league this season and he failed to impress when given opportunities. As part of the loan deal, Tottenham have an option to buy him for over €12m next summer.
Bild state it’s extremely unlikely the north London club will buy the attacker as ‘his form is too weak’. Therefore, Leipzig ‘fear’ his return to the club, where the player has a deal until 2026.
The report adds Werner’s valuation was €80m in March 2022 and it’s now at €15m, and it ‘continues to fall’ due to his ongoing struggles.
