Photo: Werner rejected all offers, if he stayed in the team, he would definitely be on the bench

August 21 According to Biography, Werner has rejected all invitations from other leagues, and it seems unlikely to transfer this summer.

Werner's prospects in Leipzig are bleak, and although he hopes to leave the club, it seems that the possibility of a summer transfer is no longer high. Werner did not get a minute of playing time in four pre-season Test matches and would not be on the roster in the Bundesliga opening against Bayern.

Werner hopes to leave the team before the contract expires in 2026, and for weeks, Red Bull New York has provided him with a two-and-a-half-year contract with an annual salary of more than 10 million euros. However, Werner's transfer plan may not be realized as the MSF transfer window will be closed this Thursday. Additionally, while transfer windows in Europe and other leagues remain open, Werner and his wife do not seem to be planning to travel to places like Saudi Arabia.

According to Biography, Werner rejected all invitations from other leagues, including Serie A offers. Now it seems that Werner will likely stay in Leipzig. Sports director Sheffield said in an interview with Bild, "We had personal conversations with the players to tell them about their future prospects and opportunities to play. Everyone knows their situation. Of course, any transfer decisions are considered from a sports and financial perspective."

For Werner, this means he has no place in the team. His annual salary is as high as 10 million euros, which makes him no longer suitable for the team's salary structure. The basic annual salary of the new performance-oriented contract is approximately €5 million. If another player who wants to leave the team, Xavi Simmons, eventually leaves, Werner will be the highest paid player on the bench of Leipzig.
