Chelsea and Liverpool can sign Timo Werner for a lesser transfer fee

It was previously reported that RB Leipzig have set a release clause of £50 million on Timo Werner, which is also a bargain for a player of his qualities. But news has broken out that Werner's release clause is much lesser than the said amount. Sports Media Sport1 reported that Timo Werner's release clause is just £25m plus additional performance-based bonuses. If the reports are true then the European biggies are expected to go all-out for the striker. Timo Werner has scored a total of 27 goals in 33 games in the season so far.
