RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen: Mega transfer from coach Ole Werner in the air!

The negotiations surrounding Ole Werner's coaching change between RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen are taking unexpected turns. RB Leipzig, which is currently in “effective” talks with the 37-year-old, is faced with a high transfer fee. Loud Absolute football Werder Bremen is demanding a transfer fee that is described as “exorbitant”. Bremen are currently asking for around six million euros, while Leipzig is prepared to spend two to three million euros on the coaching trio around Werner, Patrick Kohlmann and Tom Chichon.

Negotiations between the two clubs have not yet specifically started, but the events could have numerous implications. Werder Bremen is also relying on the transfer fee to help save Werner's salary of around two million euros. This could possibly influence Bremen's decision, as the agreement of around five million euros is considered realistic.

A coach with experience – but without star players
