Chelsea forward Timo Werner is reportedly willing to halve his salary in order to sign for former club RB Leipzig.
The German international left the Bundesliga club two years ago when the Blues paid £47.5million for him, but he has struggled to live up to expectations at Stamford Bridge.

After scoring 34 goals in 45 matches in his final season at Leipzig, Werner has only found the net on 23 occasions in 89 games across two campaigns for Chelsea.
According to German outlet Bild, Leipzig are trying to bring the 26-year-old back to the club and he is willing to take a 50 per cent pay cut to make the reunion happen.

Chelsea have been holding ‘conversations’ over whether they will be able to tempt Leicester City into sanctioning Wesley Fofana’s move to Stamford Bridge this week, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

The Blues have already added Kalidou Koulibaly to their defensive options after a £33million deal was struck with Napoli, but it appears that head coach Thomas Tuchel is keen to bolster his backline further.
