[스포티비뉴스=이성필 기자] Where is the final destination of Timo Werner, who is rushing to transfer from Chelsea?
Spanish sports media ‘Marca’ reported on the 1st (Korean time) that ‘Werner, who is expected to leave Chelsea, is likely to head to Real Madrid’.
Chelsea, who sent Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan, are struggling with a central striker starvation. Someone has to play a role, but he doesn’t seem to care much. Thomas Tuchel’s tactical ability is excellent, and he is sufficiently replaced by Raheem Sterling.
Werner has scored 10 goals and provided 9 assists in 56 league appearances for Chelsea over the past two seasons. The record alone is not very satisfactory. Even more so considering he scored 28 goals and 8 assists in 34 games in the 2019-20 season for Leipzig (Germany).
However, his imperfect position at Chelsea led to a tactical inconsistency, and he insisted on leaving Chelsea.
Interest was poured out from various clubs. Leipzig, as well as Newcastle United, showed interest. Werner only had to make the right choice, given that he had enough money.
Real appeared in a complicated situation. Real has Karim Benzema’s unrivaled performances, Vinicius Junior and Rodrigo, but it is true that there is a lack of authentic strikers. It is known that they are aiming for Werner as a reinforcement.
The transfer fee is 35 million euros (46.6 billion won). If it is difficult to pay the full amount, a rental transfer is possible. First of all, leaving Chelsea is a priority, so Werner is expected to move in any form.
Of course, in the case of Real, manager Carlo Ancelotti has indicated that he will not make any major changes to the current squad, saying there will be no further reinforcements. Werner, who wants to secure a starting position, is expected to spend the remainder of the summer transfer window with various concerns.
