The Bundesliga outfit are already through to the quarter-finals of the European competition, but the forward does not want to play any further part.

Timo Werner has indicated that he is unwilling to return to RB Leipzig in August in order to complete his side’s Champions League run after Chelsea agreed to meet his buyout clause of £54 million ($68m) ahead of a move to Stamford Bridge next season.

The 24-year-old is due to complete the Bundesliga season in just 11 days’ time, but he is not willing to come back and play in Europe despite Leipzig having reached the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time after their last-16 win over Tottenham.

UEFA wants to complete both the Champions League and Europa League in August once league seasons have been finished across the continent.
