"The San Jose Earthquakes are close to signing RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner, a source with direct knowledge of the negotiations confirmed to ESPN. While a deal isn't completely done, the source said it was "likely" that Werner would join the Quakes. If the deal is completed, Werner would join a revamped San Jose attack that has seen both Cristian Espinoza and Josef Martínez, who combined for 18 goals and 14 assists last season, depart via free agency."
"Werner, 29, has made just three appearances totaling 13 minutes this season in his second stint with Leipzig. He played for Tottenham Hotspur while on loan for parts of the last two seasons, where he managed just three goals in 41 league and cup appearances. Capped 57 times for Germany, Werner's best run of form came during a four-season spell with Leipzig from 2016-2020 when he scored 95 goals in 159 league and cup appearances."

Werner, 29, has made only three appearances totaling 13 minutes this season for Leipzig and scored three goals in 41 appearances while on loan at Tottenham. Werner previously scored 95 goals in 159 appearances for Leipzig (2016–2020), added 23 goals at Chelsea, has 57 Germany caps with 24 goals, and began his career at VfB Stuttgart in 2013.
