BERLIN, June 4 -- German international Timo Werner is said to have made a surprising decision regarding his next port of call.
As reported by the sports magazine "kicker," the pay-TV station sky and the tabloid Bild, the 24-year-old has agreed to a five-year contract with Premier League side Chelsea until 2025.
The deal will apparently be announced next week after the last details have been sorted out.
The Stuttgart-born striker can use an exit clause in his contract with the Bundesliga's RB Leipzig that runs until 2023 allowing him for less than 60-million-euro fee.
Reports talk of a 10-million-euro salary for the German attacker.
The Blues currently might be far from a leading team in European club football and the national league.
Before, several top sides showed interest in Werner. Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp seemed the most promising applicant as he some weeks ago had a video chat with the forward.
Reports speak of the Premier League leaders suffering from the financial consequences of the COVID-19 crisis - to the tune of losses of up to 110 million euros.
Klopp tried to reduce Werner's transfer fee but couldn't succeed. As the exit clause has to be used by June 15, time threatened to run out.
Bayern Munich has decided to target Manchester City Leroy Sane after Werner rejected an offer from the reigning German champion. Bayern's designated chairman Oliver Kahn announced his side has to spend cautiously due to corona-crisis.
