Erik ten Hag eyes January move for Former Chelsea forward to build squad strength
Former Chelsea striker Timo Werner has been offered to Manchester United as part of the club’s rebuilding efforts under manager Erik ten Hag, according to football transfer rumours.
The Dutchman, who is now under enormous pressure at Old Trafford, appears determined to overhaul his squad and make big moves in order to catapult United back to the top of English and European football.
According to sources, Werner, who struggled to make an effect during his time at Chelsea, is looking for a fresh start and has made himself available for a January move.
While the German has witnessed a drop in his goal-scoring form this season, with only two goals, the opportunity to play consistently on the pitch becomes critical for him as Euro 2024 approaches.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester United or other previously interested parties, like as Real Madrid, would take the jump and sign Werner.
The fate of the 27-year-old is up in the air as clubs assess his recent performances and goal-scoring record. Werner’s desire to secure playing time adds an intriguing dimension to the transfer situation, with Euro 2024 only six months away.
As the transfer window approaches, the choice is now in the hands of Leipzig, the club where Werner built his name. They face the arduous task of finding a suitor prepared to take a chance on the German striker, and time is running out if they are to complete a deal before the window closes.
