Ole Werner moves to RB Leipzig: Million dollar deal perfect!
RB Leipzig signs Ole Werner as Werder Bremen's new coach after successful negotiations over the transfer fee.
Ole Werner moves to RB Leipzig: Million dollar deal perfect!
The rumor mill is churning: Ole Werner is about to move from Werder Bremen to RB Leipzig. After a long tug of war and tough negotiations, there has now been a breakthrough in the transfer fee - this has been reduced from the original six million euros to under three million euros including bonus payments. That's what she reports World.
The talks between Werder Bremen and RB Leipzig had meanwhile stalled. However, both clubs have taken a big step towards each other, so that RB Leipzig, after a disappointing season with seventh place, is now planning Werner as their new coach. The move is already in the starting blocks after the search for a successor to Marco Rose took almost twelve weeks. Rose was fired at the end of March and Zsolt Löw took over as coach on a temporary basis.
Different views on transfer fees
In the first attempt, Werder Bremen demanded a transfer fee of six million euros, which RB Leipzig considered unaffordable. This led to a radio silence between the two clubs. But the situation has eased and negotiations are now picking up speed again. RB Leipzig is very interested in creating clarity for the coaching position as quickly as possible. Should Werner actually move, this would result in a transfer fee for Werder Bremen, as his contract runs until 2026.
Another candidate for Leipzig was Matthias Jaissle, who is currently under contract with Al-Ahli. Despite his successes, including winning the Champions League title in Asia, financial hurdles and commitment to the current contract have put Jaissle on the back foot as a successor. The Sports show emphasizes that Leipzig is now specifically approaching Werner in order to put the past season behind them as quickly as possible and return to the usual RB philosophy.
The financial framework conditions
The latest developments also show that RB Leipzig has the necessary financial resources to cover the transfer fee. High revenue from upcoming player sales, including talents such as Benjamin Sesko and Xavi Simons, could bring in over €100 million. This ensures that Leipzig is well prepared to hire the coach with whom long-term plans will be made.
However, the consequences of an unsuccessful coaching engagement should not be underestimated: If Leipzig were to abandon Werner and sign Jaissle, Werder Bremen would remain without a transfer fee and would have to continue to pay the salaries of the released coaching team, which amount to 2.5 million euros. A circumstance that is not an easy decision for the people of Bremen.
An exciting transfer is imminent, which could have a decisive influence on both the coaching landscape and the squad planning of two well-known clubs. The Transfer market would like to keep you updated as the situation develops.
