Earlier this summer, the rumors linking RB Leipzig attacker Timo Werner to the New York Red Bulls in MLS were all the rage.
Now, though, there is hope that a Bundesliga side could be ready to take a chance at reviving the career of Werner — Borussia Mönchengladbach.
BuLiNews.com captured a report from Bild, which had the most recent details on the situation to date:
With Timo Werner no longer considered to be part of RB Leipzig’s plans, there’s now interest from other clubs in the Bundesliga. As Bild
ADreports, Werner is being discussed internally as an option for Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The Foals are convinced of his versatility given he can play wide left and up top, and could envision a transfer under two conditions. For one thing, the speedy attacker would have to forgo about two-thirds of his current salary to fit into their salary structure.
Secondly, the tabloid suggests Gladbach would be dependent on Leipzig letting Werner leave on a free transfer.
RB Leipzig has definitely moved from the Werner Era and really could be open to letting Werner leave for free. The bigger question might be if Werner would be willing to consider a paycut — which he really should be open to accept at this stage of his career if he really wants to put himself in a position to be a contributor on a good team.
Would Gladbach be a good landing spot for a player in desperate need of a fresh start?
