Tottenham are set to part ways with Timo Werner at the end of the season as the Premier League club have no plans to turn his loan deal into a permanent move.
The German star joined Spurs in the January transfer window and there was an option for the London outfit to keep the winger at the club permanently this summer for a fee of 15 million pounds. Tottenham opted to extend the 28-year-old’s loan deal for another season in the summer and that deal would contain a buyout clause worth just £8.5m.

Despite this very low asking price, Spurs have no plans to turn Werner’s loan deal into a permanent transfer, according to reports. IMAGEmeaning the former Chelsea star will return to RB Leipzig at the end of the current season.
This is a huge blow to the German club and the player as they would have been hoping for an easy deal next summer.
Ange Postecoglou clearly has no plans for the winger beyond the current campaign and will instead look to bring in someone else for the role, should the Australian remain in charge of the London outfit for the 2025/26 campaign .
Timo Werner is not part of the future plans at Tottenham
Werner initially looked like he could be a useful tool for Tottenham as the German star’s energy suited Postecoglou’s intense attacking style of play.
However, the 28-year-old has failed to impress over the past year at Spurs, producing just three goals and six assists in 37 games for the Lilywhites. The RB Leipzig loanee has failed to establish himself in Postecoglou’s best XI and a recent game with Rangers left the Spurs boss furious with Werner for his display.
The decision comes as no surprise given the German winger’s season and leaves questions about where his career is headed.
