Timo Werner

In January 2026, reports indicate the transfer to San Jose Earthquakes will be a free transfer, with a Transfermarkt value cited at €3M. In late 2025, RB Leipzig was reportedly demanding a 'six-figure fee' or a 'minimal fee' for a winter transfer, with some reports from summer 2025 valuing him at €4M. Throughout 2024 and early 2025, Tottenham held a buy option on his loan, reported at various times between €10M and €12M (converted from £8.5M), which they ultimately declined. Earlier options were reportedly higher, around €15M-€17.6M. His last permanent transfer was from Chelsea to RB Leipzig in August 2022 for a reported €20M.

Our valuation for Timo Werner is driven by his expiring contract (six months remaining), his high salary, and RB Leipzig's explicit desire to facilitate his departure. The upper range is defined by a reported demand for a 'six-figure fee' in late 2025, while the lower end reflects numerous recent reports stating the move to MLS will be a 'free transfer' or for a 'minimal fee' to get his wages off the books.
