Salzburg's sporting director has confirmed Haaland has held talks with both Dortmund and Leipzig for January move. If Haaland goes to Leipzig, Werner would be available to buy in Jan.

Werner available in January? Says who?

If Haaland goes to Leipzig, i'm almost 100% sure Leipzig would sell Werner.

Well, yeah but I doubt it'll be in January.

Very possible since Haaland has a release clause around £21.2 million.

Leipzig are likely planning ahead for the inevitable departure of Werner. But they have no reason to sell in January when (a) they are still in all competitions (unlikely they will win the Champions League but still), (b) they have a good chance to win the Bundesliga and (c) "use" Werner to give Haaland time to settle into the team. Furthermore, the European Championship is coming up next summer. Why would Werner risk throwing away all the momentum and good work he's done this season to move in January and not getting selected for the tournament? IIRC, he spoke something about this recently. Unless he's guaranteed a first team place - ahead of Abraham for example (I doubt it) - he won't move next month. He's comfortable where he is at the moment at Leipzig, starting week in week out and scoring for fun. If anything, a club may try to do a Pulisic-type deal for Werner in January.

Haaland already said he will only move to a club who can guaranteed him a starter place. If Leipzig decide to buy him in Jan, they would definitely sell Werner.

In the long run, of course. Playing as backup here and there (Nagelsmann might even just play both him and Werner together) for 6 months is hardly gonna be an issue.

When arsenal bid 40mil, CP said they want 70m. I dont know where you are getting the 80mil quote. Moreover thats their asking price, does not mean thats what he will go for. Like people have said 40m + Michy would be a good deal. Michy has just 1.5 years on his contract so will be going for a bargain anyways in 6 months.

We can probably get £20-30m for Bats in a cash transfer to CP. They cannot score goals and he is popular their with the fans (my Dad's side of family are all season ticket holders.) Selling him for cash in Jan makes sense as his contract is running down. Giving him to Palace plus another £40m is eqivilent to giving Palace £60-70m for a second rate player.

Pretty sure he is going to Utd. He will be first choice CF there as Rashford and Martial can play wide and they will give him insane wages. Plus he grew up in that neck of the woods.

I don't think so, still sure Haaland would end up either at Dortmund or Leipzig.

we are mad as ass is we do not go all out to sign Werner IF Håland goes to RB

the big 4 must haves for me (January and Summer) are so simple

LB Chilwell (£70-80m) or if a fail,  Telles (£33m)

RW Sancho (£100-120m) I have resigned myself that if we fail there we will grab Zaha, I just so HOPE we do not overpay (I think it is madness to not drop the extra £20 to 40m on Sancho, but it isnt my club, not my quid)

CF Werner (£25m) or Håland (£17m)

CB Romagnoli (£70-80m or so)

the rest (Ake, plus a DMF, etc) can sort itself out by summer 2021 (Ake sooner, obviously), which is probably when we make a move for Declan Rice, which I am in strong favour of unless he is over £70m or £80m

They want 80m for Zaha. Giroud with 6 months left on contract in January will cost 6-7m max due to his age. 

they can expect 400 million. No one with a brain pays 80 million for Zaha.
Zaha right now is not worth half of that.
Zaha is not a player for Chelsea.
Maybe an Everton of this life ...

[BDTips 34]

Werner is the man.

"According to reports, Werner's new deal includes a buyout clause which will start at €60 million in the summer of 2020 and drop from year to year."

I think it would be better to wait until summer.
Here would be a great deal.

If frank wants this "second rate player", then so be it.

But he has also mentioned numerous times about having balance in the squad, which could mean he's wary of playing too many young players in the squad. 

Party pooper
