Bundesliga - Timo Werner receives approval from RB Leipzig for winter loan

The national soccer player Timo Werner, who is in a sporting crisis, has received clearance from his club RB Leipzig for a possible transfer in the winter transfer window. RB confirmed a corresponding article in the German newspaper "Bild" on Thursday. According to the article, Werner could go on loan to another club in order to offer himself for the German national team's European Championship squad with plenty of match practice.

"Timo is our player. We have great confidence in his abilities and value him extremely highly as a person. Our wish is for him to make a name for himself at RB Leipzig. Of course, we are also discussing other options with him," said sporting director Rouven Schröder, who, like coach Marco Rose, is in constant contact with the 27-year-old. However, he had recently let it be known that he wanted to fight his way through at RB.

Werner has been in a slump in form since the start of the season. He has only made sporadic appearances because new signing Lois Openda is the main man in Leipzig's attack and Yussuf Poulsen and Benjamin Sesko have taken the place of Leipzig's record marksman. Werner is also often injured and is currently absent due to back problems.

Werner returned in the summer of 2022 for €20 million from Chelsea FC, who he joined in 2020. However, he has not been able to build on his record from his first spell at RB with 95 goals in 159 Bundesliga games.
