Timo Werner Attracting Interest From Juventus, Newcastle And RB Leipzig

Chelsea forward Timo Werner is attracting interest from Juventus, Newcastle United and RB Leipzig as he could leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

The 26-year-old struggled for game time last season, playing 37 matches in all competitions and scoring 11 times.

The forward has failed to live up to his best season in the Bundesliga, scoring 28 goals in 34 matches for RB Leipzig before joining Chelsea under Frank Lampard. 

Earlier this summer, Werner questioned his own future at the club as he admitted that he could leave.

“It is clear I want to play more and I should play more to be in good shape for the World Cup — and also to have a chance to play,” he previously admitted.

"First of all, the most important thing is that I am happy. I am happy when I play and score goals. That’s the fact.

"That’s what I should take care of and the other things will come. 

"I could be happy everywhere. It is hard to say (why I've struggled for game time). 

"I didn’t ask but I think of course the manager always has different ideas, different thoughts and what you need in different games, I think in many games I was not in his thoughts so I try to change that. "

"It is clear I want to play more and I should play more to first be in good shape for the World Cup and also, to have a chance to play at the World Cup.”

It was previously reported that a return to RB Leipzig could be on the cards for the forward, with Chelsea previously offering a loan swap for the 26-year-old as they attempted to hijack PSG’s deal for Nordi Mukiele.

Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has now revealed that Juventus are interested in the forward.

He states that Werner is among the names on the Serie A side’s shortlist in the summer transfer window.

He has already been discussed internally at Juventus as Chelsea had offered the player to the club during negotiations for Matthijs de Ligt before he joined Bayern Munich. 

Furthermore, Bundesliga expert Christian Falk reported that Newcastle United are also interested in Werner. 

The forward has been linked with a move to the Magpies in the past, and Eddie Howe’s side are in the market for a new striker.

It is unclear as to whether the player would wish to remain in England or look for a new challenge abroad as his time at Stamford Bridge appears to be coming to an end.
