""We're excited about signing Timo Werner," Earthquakes sporting Director and head coach Bruce Arena said. "I think he'll be an excellent acquisition for our team, and we're really looking forward to him coming to San Jose. To have a player of Timo's caliber coming in is simply outstanding for the club and the community. I believe he'll offer us quality on the field, experience and leadership.""
""It's always a big decision to go to America, but everything is there to be successful," Werner said. "The stadium and the facilities are beautiful. Also, it really impressed me that an experienced manager like Bruce, who has had so much success in the league, flew over here to Germany to talk to me about the plan. "The Earthquakes fans can expect to get a player who gives everything on the pitch, every game.""
San Jose Earthquakes signed RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner as a designated player through 2028. The club had lost Josef Martínez and Cristian Espinoza to free agency, and forward Cristian Arango is likely headed to Atlético Nacional, creating a need for attacking reinforcements. Espinoza and Martínez combined for 18 goals and 14 assists last season. Werner, 29, made three appearances totaling 13 minutes this season in his second stint with Leipzig and scored three goals in 41 appearances while on loan at Tottenham. Werner will occupy an international roster spot. San Jose acquired his discovery priority from New York Red Bulls for $50,000 in 2026 GAM.
