The 29-year-old, who completed a rental period at Tottenham Hotspur last season, is now returning to RB Leipzig.

RB Leipzig is now planning to separate from Werner, President Oliver Mintzlaff has made the intention of clearing him from the list of salarys, since his annual salary of ten million euros is heavily burdening the financial possibilities of the association, such as merkur.de reported.

According to information from onefootball.com Euro seems affordable for them. Fenerbahce had to restructure after a missed championship title and could win Werner as a strategic player, while Trabzonspor is also looking for an experienced offensive player who has international experience. Werner's 57 caps for Germany could also give him a leadership role in trabzonspor.
