Werner left Leipzig for Chelsea in 2020 in a deal believed to be around € 56,22. He will now be moving back to Germany in a deal worth €20m.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano took to Twitter to confirm that the two sides signed the contracts, and all that was left was Werner passing his medical.

The player only made 89 appearances for the Blues, scoring 23 goals in the process, and appears to have had a falling out with coach Thomas Tuchel.

He will be eager to return to Leipzig, where he enjoyed so much success and help Die Roten Bulle compete for silverware.
