Timo Werner: From 80 million star to the flop for 4 million euros!
Leipzig, Deutschland - Timo Werner, once celebrated as a big storm talent at VfB Stuttgart, is currently experiencing a significant setback in his career. The former national player, who had a market value of 80 million euros not too long ago, is now probably sold for only 4 million euros. This dramatic impairment illustrates the steep descent that the 29-year-old has experienced in recent years. At the moment it even has a market value of 7 million euros, which takes on alarming dimensions. suedwest24.de reported.
The Werner’s path began in 2013 when he made his debut in the Bundesliga at the age of 17. He played in the youth of VfB together with the internationally successful stars Serge Gnabry and Joshua Kimmich. The striker played a total of 103 competitive games for Stuttgart, scored 14 goals and gave 11 templates. After the relegation of VfB in 2016, he moved to RB Leipzig, where he rose to the national player at lightning speed and received recognition for his performance. In 2020 there was a move to Chelsea for a proud 53 million euros, and a year later he was even allowed to win the Champions League with his new club. But the subsequent seasons in London were characterized by difficulties, and after only one year he returned to Leipzig, where he could not build on his old performances.
Current situation and problems of injury
In the 2024/2025 season, Werner was active in the Premier League, Europa League, in the EFL Cup and FA Cup. Unfortunately, success failed to materialize. During the 3rd round in the Fa Cup against Tamworth on January 12, 2025, he was eliminated with his team, and he was also unable to convince against Aston Villa in the 4. round due to a thigh injury (e.g. two appearances, only one goal). Despite the high expectations, Werner was only able to score one goal in 27 competitive games for Tottenham Hotspur and was even deleted from the squad for the final phase of the European Cup season.

market value development and the competition

Current top players such as Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, with a market value of 137.5 million euros, take the top, while stars such as Kylian Mbappe and many other players fall behind them in the ranking.
