Tottenham Declines to Exercise Timo Werner Purchase Option
The German striker, struggling for form and fitness, may consider a move to the MLS with New York Red Bulls this summer.
- Timo Werner will not be signed permanently by Tottenham Hotspur, who opted against activating the €10 million purchase clause in his loan deal from RB Leipzig.
- The 28-year-old forward has struggled to secure regular playing time with Tottenham, falling behind Bayern Munich loanee Mathys Tel in the squad hierarchy.
- Werner's season has been hampered by injuries, including a thigh issue, and he was excluded from Tottenham's Europa League squad earlier this year.
- Reports suggest Werner is unlikely to return to RB Leipzig and may explore a potential transfer to the MLS, with the New York Red Bulls rumored as a possible destination.
- Werner's career has seen significant highs and lows, including a €53 million move to Chelsea in 2020, but his recent stints at Leipzig and Tottenham have failed to reignite his form.
