RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner has reached an agreement over personal terms with Premier League club Chelsea according to a report from the online edition of German news outlet BILD.
The 24-year-old German national team forward has agreed a five year contract with the London based club which comes with an annual salary of no less than €10 million a year.
RB Leipzig’s performance in the Bundesliga will determine how much Werner will go for. He has a variable release clause in his contract which will be €60 million if they win the Bundesliga or €50 million if they do not win it.
Liverpool and Inter have both been heavily linked with making moves for the former Stuttgart player but will need to move quickly now if they wish to avoid losing out on him to Chelsea.
This season Werner has made 40 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored 31 goals and provided 12 assists for his teammates.
