Werner ready to take 'drastic pay cut' to join Leipzig, move is 'more and more likely': Sky Sports

As per Sky Sports' German reporter Florian Plettenberg, Timo Werner's return to RB Leipzig is getting 'more and more likely'.

Leipzig have been pushing more and more for the transfer each passing day and are checking both options - loan or permanent deal.

Reportedly, Thomas Tuchel has to give his final say on what kind of deal he prefers before the talks can advance.

Werner is ready for a 'drastic salary' cut due to his 'great RB connection'.

The German forward was signed by Chelsea in 2020 after scoring 31 goals for Leipzig the previous season. However, he has not shown that quality in England, scoring 23 goals combined in two seasons with the Blues.
