Ole Werner changes to RB Leipzig-agreement on millions of transfer!

Leipzig, Deutschland - The change from coach Ole Werner from Werder Bremen to RB Leipzig accepts more concrete forms. As the Deichstube have now officially agreed. The official confirmation of the transfer is still pending, but the last contractual details should be clarified quickly at the weekend. Werner, who was under contract with Werder by 2026, will be signed in Leipzig.

The negotiations between SV Werder Bremen and RB Leipzig were described as lengthy. The Bremen originally demanded a transfer fee of six million euros, while Leipzig initially only wanted to pay three million euros. In order to reach an agreement, both clubs have moved away from their specifications, so that there is now a transfer fee of two to three million euros. In addition, possible bonus payments are said to have been agreed that could make the entire package more lucrative, as T-Online explains.

Sustainable savings for Werder

With the change from Werner to Leipzig, there is another step in the sporting realignment at Werder Bremen. In addition to the head coach, assistant coach Patrick Kohlmann and Tim Cichon also leave the club. Due to these departures, the club can save around 2.5 million euros in salary costs per year, which is a not inconsiderable sum in the current economic conditions.

ole Werner has held the coaching position at Werder since November 2021 and gained great recognition after his change from Holstein Kiel. The change of coach at RB Leipzig is not entirely unexpected after Marco Rose was released a few weeks ago. Until the final decision for Werner, Zsolt Löw acted interimistic at the Grün-Weiß coaching bench.
