Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United have 12 days to trigger Timo Werner’s release clause if they want to sign him for less than £50m . The Germany international striker’s €55m (£49m) release clause at RB Leipzig runs out on Monday, June 15.
Werner was persuaded to join Chelsea after receiving almost daily phone calls from Frank Lampard over the last few weeks. Frank Lampard and Petr Cech made an undercover pre-lockdown trip to Germany that helped Chelsea leapfrog Liverpool and Manchester United to convince Timo Werner to move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea plan to balance the books this summer with a series of outgoings after sealing the £54m signing of Werner. Chelsea’s bid for player pay cuts looks doomed after landing Werner.
