Timo Werner’s agent is currently in Italy talking to the likes of Juventus and AC Milan in what could be a major a transfer blow for Newcastle United.
As reported by the Express, Volker Struth, Werner’s agent and advisor, has been seen in Turin and Milan talking to some of Serie A’s biggest sides, with the German representative also meeting with Atalanta to discuss the German striker.
Werner is expected to leave Chelsea this summer after failing to nail down a spot in Thomas Tuchel’s side, with the 26-year-old also struggling for form in what has been another season to forget for the former RB Leipzig superstar.
As reported by Christian Falk, Newcastle are one of the sides also interested in the attacker, with Eddie Howe eager to sign a starring striker this summer and to add some much-needed firepower to the Magpies frontline.
With Chelsea set to make a major loss on the reported £45m the Blues paid to sign Werner in 2020, a new challenge is needed for the German international, and the striker’s agent is shopping the forward around to the likes of Milan and Juventus could be seismic for Newcastle.
Indeed, whilst Werner’s time at Chelsea would be regarded by many as unsuccessful, there’s no denying that the forward could become a success at the right club, and the way Newcastle are going, the Toon could be perfect for the striker despite interest from Juventus and Milan.
Werner should make Newcastle move despite Juventus and Milan’s interest
Given Newcastle’s new owners and their reported plans for the summer, Werner could become a central piece for the northeast side in what is set to be an exciting future for the club, even if Juventus and Milan can offer immediate success for the German.
Moreover, with Newcastle desperate to sign a star striker this summer, Werner could be the perfect talisman for the Magpies under Howe, who will be patient and willing to play to the attacker’s strengths.
