Timo Werner has expressed his disappointment with those responsible at RB Leipzig following his winter transfer to Tottenham Hotspur. "There was relatively little exchange. During the first half of the season, it was clear what the coach thought about me and planned with me. That's why it was relatively easy for me to take this step," the 27-year-old told TV channel Sky. "Sometimes it no longer fits between people or between tactics and players," added the goalscorer, who no longer had a regular place under RB coach Marco Rose.
"In the end, I can complain to few people in Leipzig that the situation ended up like this. It no longer brought me the joy I felt for a long time," said Werner about his situation in Leipzig before his loan to Tottenham. He still has a contract with the Bundesliga club until the end of June 2026.
Coach Rose disputed Werner's account. "I made a lot of effort for Timo. We have had many talks. I believe that the issue as a whole is very complex. Timo should be happy that he's doing really well again, that he's playing a lot and performing," said the RB coach on Friday.
