Timo Werner is unlikely to swap Tottenham for Bayern Munich this summer, as his focus will be on getting playing time somewhere.
That’s according to journalist Marcel Reif, via FCB Inside, who can’t see the striker ending up at Bayern as a back up for Harry Kane.
Werner is set to leave Tottenham in the summer when his loan deal, which was extended in the summer after he originally joined in the January transfer window.
It’s been a miserable season for him in London, though, as he’s gradually fallen out of the picture under Ange Postecoglou this season.
They have no intention of making his move a permanent one and as such, he’ll be returning to RB Leipzig in the summer. They, though, don’t want him either and need to determine what happens next.
Reports have suggested that Bayern Munich could explore a move for him, with them desperate to find a back up option to Harry Kane. A potential move to MLS has also been mooted for some time.
Reif can’t see a move to Bayern happening, though, as he thinks Werner wants to start playing again after earning his money at Tottenham.
“Does he still have it in him?” he said on the programme Reif is Live.
“Is that really what it takes to continue sitting on the bench at Bayern? He doesn’t even play football there anymore. He hasn’t played football the whole time, and he won’t play football there either. It’s hard to imagine.
“I think he wants to play football again. He earned enough money at Tottenham. Right now, he should reinvent himself.”
