Timo Werner will give up on RB Leipzig's Champions League bid in order to link up with Chelsea in July, according to Bild. But while Werner will finish the Bundesliga season with Leipzig, he will not play for the club when European football resumes in August. The Champions League is likely to be completed entirely in August once Europe's major domestic campaigns - the Premier League, LaLiga, the Bundesliga and Serie A - have finished. 'I do not expect Timo to be here next season,' the 32-year-old told DAZN after Leipzig secured a 2-0 win over Hoffenheim. Chelsea triggered Werner's release clause before Monday's deadline but will unable to get him on the pitch before the start of next season.
