Timo Werner from RB Leipzig is in great demand: Did his move to Bayern fail in the summer due to Sandro Wagner?

  • Hansi Flick would like to see Timo Werner at Bayern Munich .
  • Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic refuses a transfer .
  • Now a Spain giant is also involved in the transfer tug of war.

Update from February 8, 4:47 pm: Ex-FCB professional Thomas Helmer has strongly advised FC Bayern to sign Timo Werner from RB Leipzig. Concern that the attacker would not fit into the Bayern system, the former defender brushed aside.

"Of course he fits in there. One piece of advice: Bayern have to break free from Lewandowski addiction . If he is in a low or injured himself, what do Bayern do? If you want to win the Champions League, you have to be better staffed, ”Helmer told“ t-online.de ”. According to Helmer, Bavaria currently has too few players to keep up internationally.

For Helmer, the current game day could be decisive for the championship: “If Leipzig loses, it will be damn difficult with the championship . Dortmund is actually the strongest competitor for me at the moment - but they play in Leverkusen. Bavaria can be the big winner of the match day, ”said Helmer.

Timo Werner: Doesn't he match Bayern Munich?

Update of February 3, 12:12: Timo Werner has commented on Hasan Salihamidzic's unflattering statements that he does not fit into the Bayern Munich game philosophy.

"I wasn't lying in bed with my eyes open and pondered this assessment. Obviously there is a huge competition in the storm with Bayern and they have the best striker in the world at Lewandowski right now, ”said the 23-year-old Schwabe in an interview with the kicker :“ But I'm not dealing with that. I'm doing my thing in Leipzig and I'm happy with it. ”

In his opinion, he and Robert Lewandowski could theoretically storm side by side at FC Bayern , the striker of RB Leipzig further explained *: "Strikers with 20 or more goals each can certainly play well together."

Timo Werner: Did the move to Bayern fail due to Sandro Wagner?

Update from January 22, 10:46 am: With 20 goals this season, Timo Werner is at the top of the Bundesliga goalscorer list - together with Robert Lewandowski . The two attackers almost stormed together for FC Bayern . Or not.

Because that's exactly why Bayern didn't hit Werner in the summer, even though the 23-year-old would have been available for 25 million.

The record master did not want to bring internal quarrels into the house. Lewandowski is clearly number 1 in the storm, Werner would have been his back-up because he also sees himself in the center and not on the outside - therefore, according to Sport Bild , the Bayern bosses refrained from an obligation. They were afraid that Werner might be dissatisfied on the bench and cause problems.

With Sandro Wagner , Bayern had a back-up for Lewy until last year. Even though Wagner knew about his situation, he was dissatisfied because Lewandowski almost always played. In the end Wagner went to China.

After the FCB deal broke, Werner extended his contract with RB Leipzig and, under Julian Nagelsmann, developed into one of the most accurate strikers in Europe.

The same goes for Timo Werner. Bayern decided against a move for Werner despite talks and a fee of just € 25m last summer.

Timo Werner: FC Barcelona instead of FC Bayern and RB Leipzig? Mega club interested

Update from January 21st, 11.09am: Timo Werner and FC Bayern Munich - will there still be a transfer at some point? It will hardly be anything this winter, it is too important for leaders Leipzig. The goal-getter extended his contract with RB in the summer and has since been delivering goals like on an assembly line. It is clear that such qualities not only provoke admirers at the national level.

Now there is a new prospect: According to a media report, FC Barcelona should be interested in Werner. The Catalans are urgently looking for a replacement for striker Luis Suarez , who will have to take a four-month break after knee surgery, the Spanish newspaper Sport reported on Tuesday.

Timo Werner: FC Barcelona instead of FC Bayern? RB-Leipzig-Star arouses interest

The Barca club leaders originally had no plans to buy new players in January, "but the absence of the Uruguayan has radically changed the plans," the article said.

However, the Blaugrana did not want to pay much more than 30 million euros for a Suarez replacement or alternatively initially borrow a center forward with a purchase option. In addition to Timo Werner, the club leadership is also considering other options. Because it is rather unlikely that Leipzig will let its top talent go.

The Spain-Germany route still seems to be popular on the transfer market. Real Madrid's Alvaro Odriozola is apparently about to sign with Bayern.

FCB legend recommends Werner transfer - price for strikers leaked

Update from January 20, 11:15 a.m .: Germany has another bomber. Timo Werner hits and hits and hits. The Leipziger has now caught up with Robert Lewandowski . Both clippers stand after 18 games with an exceptional 20 goals. A dual leadership from Werner and Lewandowski?

It would almost be a distortion of competition at the moment. The shaking of the opposing defense legs would probably keep the entire Federal Republic awake. But according to FC Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic , German citizens will not have any sleepless nights. The Bavarian squad planner had previously rejected an obligation. The decisive argument: Timo Werner would not fit into the FC Bayern system.

For Stefan Effenberg, this is a remarkable statement: “A Timo Werner with the quality fits into every system. Or you adapt your system a little bit, ”he vehemently contradicts in the Sport1 double pass. From an economic point of view, a transfer of the national team would definitely be interesting. Because by today's standards, the goal getter would be almost affordable. Thanks to a contractual clause, he can leave the club for 50 million euros . Nevertheless, Leroy Sané should continue to be the first choice, as the kicker reports.

"Stand now ...": Flick and Brazzo still crochet - now Timo Werner comments on the change

Werner, who had a large share in the win of the autumn championship with 18 goals and six assists, stated that the season goal was to reach the Champions League - but hoped for more: "Winning the championship would be the ultimate."

First announcement: Hansi Flick wants Timo Werner, but Hasan Salihamidzic struggles in between

Munich - In football, it is a fear that coaches like to hang around with, especially since three-storm variants have been booming: can I bring a center forward? Or do I let the other attacker in? Or both together?

At FC Bayern Munich , Robert Lewandowski claims the space in the storm center for himself and only for himself. This has been handed down several times by the Polish superstar and is an open secret on Säbener Straße.

Bayern's sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, who is under pressure to move on the transfer market, has justified the failed transfer from Werner to Munich with the different style of play between the two goalkeepers.

Transfer from Timo Werner to Bayern? Hasan Salihamidzic says no

Timo Werner is a good player who played an excellent first half of the season. However, we have Robert Lewandowski . Robert is a striker who fits our style of play perfectly, ”said Salihamidzic of Sport Bild . “With his speed, Timo Werner needs more space, which he had in the system that Leipzig played. The system at RB has now changed, but it is not as tight at the front as it is with us. "

According to the report, coach Hansi Flick would love to welcome the German striker to Bayern Munich's squad . But once again Salihamidzic apparently disagrees.

At the end of August, the 23-year-old Werner had extended his contract with the league leaders from Leipzig until summer 2023, although according to media reports he would have been available for a comparatively low transfer fee of 25 million euros.

FC Bayern Munich: discussions about back-up for Robert Lewandowski

In and around Munich , on the other hand, there has been a long discussion about whether it would not make sense if Bayern would again commit a back-up for Lewandowski - like Sandro Wagner once did. Instead, Thomas Meunier from PSG is currently discussing a right-back as a transfer or loan.

"Robert has the ability to orientate himself in a tight space, the technique of moving in confined spaces and finding extraordinary solutions with the ball," said Salihamidzic of the exceptional Polish player, according to Flick "the best center forward in the world".

At least in this case, the coach and the sports director of FC Bayern agree.
