San Jose Earthquakes in Talks to Sign Timo Werner From RB Leipzig

Overview

• Sky Germany and syndicated reports say San Jose have emerged as a concrete option for the 29-year-old after prolonged exclusion from Leipzig’s squad.
• Bavarian Football Works reports talks have taken place, with Inter Miami previously explored but currently viewed as a less active pathway by multiple outlets.
• Goal.com reports Bruce Arena is driving the pursuit and has contacted Werner’s representatives, a detail attributed to unnamed sources and not independently confirmed.
• Leipzig are reported to welcome a bidder to offload Werner’s wages, with suggestions they could accept a nominal fee to ease a January exit.
• Any move to MLS would likely use a Designated Player slot, while German reporting also raises the possibility Werner opts to see out his contract.
