Timo Werner is set to return to his old club RB Leipzig from Chelsea in a deal worth $30.2m and has said his last goodbye to the Blues fans.
The German international spent two years at Stamford Bridge, having joined from the Bundesliga club in the summer of 2020 and has helped the club to the Champions League, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup trophies. However, the 26-year-old, despite enjoying a healthy relationship with fans, has been unable to replicate the goalscoring prowess he did in Germany.
Werner recorded 23 goals and 21 assists during his time with Chelsea while making 89 appearances.
Werner said: “Dear Blues, Today marks the end of my journey with Chelsea FC.
“I am incredibly grateful for the time I spent at this special club. At this point, I would like to express my appreciation for my teammates, the coaches & staff, and especially for you, the special supporters of Chelsea Football Club.
Timo Werner...time to move.
