RB Leipzig in the coaching crisis: Werder demands 6 million for Werner!

The football circus in Germany continues to rotate rapidly, especially with regard to the coaching position at RB Leipzig. Ole Werner, currently still a coach of Werder Bremen, remains as a hot topic in the transfer carousel. Negotiations between the two clubs are still ongoing, with Werder Bremen demanding a transfer fee of 6 million euros, while Leipzig only offer those responsible for 1 million euros. Bild.de reports that both clubs have approached.

Werner's current situation is particularly exciting because it has been released since the end of May and a contract with Bremen is valid until 2026. This unclear coaching situation brakes important decisions at RB Leipzig. So far, sports manager Marcel Schäfer was only able to fix the transfer of Ezechiel Banzuzi from Leuven for 20 million euros and the contract extension of El Chadaille Bitshiabu until 2029. However, further new additions are closely related to the clarification of the coaching question.

a player jam and the coaching question

The uncertainty about the coaching position also has an impact on potential new additions. Players like Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia, who already agreed with RB Leipzig about a contract until 2030, have to wait for a decision. André Silva could also rethink his future in Leipzig, depending on Werner's obligation. Yahoo Sports mentions that there could be a possible breakthrough in the negotiations on Sunday.

Interestingly, Bremen has already reduced his original claim of 9 million euros to 6 million euros to advance the negotiations. In addition to Werner, Werder also calls for a transfer for his preferred assistant coaches, which also gives the transfer complexity. Leipzig is thinking about finding alternative trainers, although so far no concrete names are in prospect.

lively club dynamics

In the middle of all this speculation, there are also some personnel changes at RB Leipzig. David Wagner was newly installed in the club's youth department, only nine days after Manuel Baum was released. Wagner brings experience of clubs such as Huddersfield and Norwich City and could play an important role in the future structure of the association. [Transfermarkt] (https://www.transfermarkt.de/bundesliga/trainer change/wettbewertb/l1/) clearly summarizes the dynamics and changes in the Bundesliga.

can only be hoped that the talks will soon lead to a positive ending for all parties involved. RB Leipzig and the fans of the team long for clarity and a stable direction for the coming season.
