Werner has been training and paddling all year round but was able to score goals before; he refuses to leave the team now + the future is uncertain

Hupu, August 28, RB Leipzig wrote an op-ed article to analyze Werner's future.

Werner and RB Leipzig's contract expired in 2026, and he insisted on refusing to leave the team this summer's transfer window.

So, it is obvious that Timo Werner now officially provides more room for 37-year-old head coach Oli Werner.

It would be a fool if he hid the (former) international — a well-paid and deserved to make a difference in his career.

Considering Oppenda's 0-6 defeat in Munich and his long-standing need to improve on "self-criticism and self-condemnation", a team activist named Timo Werner may be able to help the Belgians re-know themselves, help their colleagues and get him back on track.

In addition, Timo Werner is loved by RB fans, who may be able to contribute one or two goals as a substitute and help consolidate the tense relationship between fans and players.

At the same time, is it possible for his transfer with New York Red Bull to restart negotiations? Sources revealed that the possibility of Werner joining New York Red Bull in the future has not been completely ruled out.

The transfer deadline for this season has expired on August 22, and a new round of transfers in the winter window is under discussion. The New York team, coached by Sandro Schwartz and led by former RB Leipzig star Emil Fosbery, performed poorly this season and may not even be able to enter the playoffs.

Finally, Werner's enthusiasm for training has never been the highest.

The fact is: If Ralph Hassenshutel, Ralph Rangnick, Julian Nagelsmann, and even Marco Roze were selected based on their training performance, Werner would not have been on the field at all.

This player who made his debut in the Bundesliga at the age of 17 has never been a training champion, and he left his usual training to the heroic moments of the weekend. Because he scored goals and won prizes for the team and coaching staff, this gentle training method was tolerated.
