Chelsea Director opens up and announces excitement that superstar Werner has signed up
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia has opened up and admitted that she is excited that Timo Werner has agreed to sign with Chelsea.
We agreed a deal, but nothing had been announced and that got many fans worried that Werner could decide to pull out of a move to the club, and end up making a move to another Premier League club.
However, that is not the case and now wehave officially confirmed that the German star will be signing with the club.
We have agreed to pay €50m (£45m) to trigger the release clause of Werner, who is set to earn more than €10m (£9m) per season in England.
The 24-year-old will remain with RB Leipzig for the remainder of the Bundesliga season before joining up with his new team-mates next month.
But the Germans have said their goodbyes….
