"For Werner, a move to MLS is basically the "Last Chance U" for his career. RB Leipzig does not want him, he has barely played for months, and his marketability is at an all-time low. There were hopes that he would be able to catch on with a club in the Bundesliga, but nothing has emerged. Now, it appears as if it is MLS or bust."
"Kicker reports that - despite a plethora of reports linking him with a move to America's MLS - RB Leipzig's Timo Werner may be preparing to simply ride out his current Bundesliga contract. The 29-year-old evidently sees no reason to forfeit six months worth of his current salary in order to make a move in January. Leipzig themselves may also find little reason to collect a pittance on the current €5m-valued attacker."
San Jose Earthquakes have entered the race for Timo Werner, with talks taking place and the Earthquakes the more concrete option compared to Inter Miami. Werner and his agents have held talks with Inter Miami over a possible January move, but Inter Miami is prioritizing a new deal for Luis Suárez. Werner's contract with RB Leipzig runs until 2026. Werner has barely played for months, faces low marketability, and RB Leipzig do not want him in the squad. Werner may choose to ride out his contract rather than forfeit six months' salary, leaving MLS as the likeliest external destination.
