Timo Werner is one step away from signing for Chelsea. Sport Bild claim that the Blues are the only team willing pay the 60 million euros that the player's buyout clause.
A player who is highly sought after throughout Europe and who has been ringing out for months to wear the shirt of Liverpool and Inter, teams that, it seems, will not be able to fulfil their desire to have the German in their squad.
But what are the conditions that would allow Werner to end up playing for Chelsea? The Athletic is publishing step by step what would have to happen for the RB Leipzig striker to end up in London.
It seems that Jürgen Klopp's side have thrown in the towel because they are not prepared to offer more than 50 million for the German, while Inter are ruled out because Werner will only accept to play in the Premier League.
It is at this time when Manchester United could appear on the scene, but the 'Red Devils' could not afford, always according to the source, the payment of its termination clause without selling Paul Pogba before, a player who is no longer as expected to leave as he was before.
That leaves Stamford Bridge completely alone in the fight for his transfer, and they are also the only team that would be willing to pay RB Leipzig what they are asking for their player.
