German forward Timo Werner, aged 29, has been proposed to Olympique Lyon by RB Leipzig. While Lyon is showing interest, the club intends to delay any decision until the final weeks of the transfer window, citing financial limitations and Werner's substantial salary as reasons for their caution. The club, which is facing financial challenges, is in need of offensive players but remains wary due to Werner's annual salary of ten million euros, a factor that has discouraged other potential buyers. Reports indicate that Stade Rennes and New York Red Bulls are also considering Werner, although the latter has offered a contract based on performance. Werner's contract with RB Leipzig is due to end on June 30, 2026, and according to Transfermarkt, his current market value is approximately €7.00m, a significant decrease from his peak valuation of €80.00m in 2020.
