Tottenham will pass on their £ 8.5 million option to buy Timo Werner this summer.
The German attacker, who first came to Tottenham on a loan of six months of RB Leipzig in January 2024 before the agreement was later extended for a further season, has so far only one goal scored in 27 performances this period.
Werner returned to action on Wednesday evening in the 1-0 defeat against Manchester City after having previously sustained a hamstring injury in the 3-0 FA Cup third round victory in Tamworth in January.
Regardless of what happens between now and the end of the season, sources close to Werner, however, expect that he will return to Leipzig this summer before he later regards his options.
There is provisional interest from MLS-Kant New York Red Bulls, but every deal is not only dependent on the financial data, but whether the 28-year-old attacker is willing to call time on his gaming career in Europe.
Ange Postecoglou and the Tottenham hierarchy plan to introduce new forward reinforcements at the end of the season and Werner is not part of their long-term plans.
That was characterized last weekend when, despite Werner's return to fitness, he was omitted from the competition day team for the 4-1 victory in Ipswich Town because of the heavy competition for places in North London.
In December, Werner's Under-Par performance at Ibrox in the 1-1 Europa League Draw was labeled “unacceptable” by the Aussie in the midst of the debiling injuries of the club.
From that moment it was clear to see that it was very unlikely that Spurs would activate their option to sign the attacker at the end of the season.
Postecoglou has already known that he expects Mathys Tel a Tottenham player after the summer after his loan switch from Bayern Munich.
Spurs has an option of £ 45.8 million to buy this summer that could rise to £ 50 million with bonuses and the Frenchman can also play both widely and through the middle.
The future of Richarlison will also be reassessed at the end of the campaign after another difficult season fighting different injuries.
The midfield of the club can also be subjected to an operation on the transfer market, while there can also be newcomers in the defense.
