According to Biography, Leipzig striker Werner's transfer to New York Red Bull may fail because the players demand a high annual salary of 10 million euros.
Werner and his wife Paul actually yearn for life in New York very much. Therefore, Red Bull Group once believed that the two parties would reach an agreement on the contract. However, the transfer seems to be in a failure now because Werner's salary requirements are too high. Werner's agent reportedly demanded an annual salary of 10 million euros per year, which is completely unrealistic in the salary structure of Red Bull in New York.
Werner has a one-year contract with Leipzig, with an annual salary of about 10 million euros, which is almost equivalent to the total salary of the Red Bull team in New York. Currently, former Leipzig player Fosbery has an annual salary of 5.4 million euros in Red Bull, New York, making him the highest-paid player.
From the beginning, Werner's contract problem seemed tricky. He is reluctant to make any concessions on salary, and now it seems that he even wants to get a higher salary. Werner's agent reportedly put forward excessive salary requirements, which put the transfer negotiations in a deadlock.
Leipzig now expects Werner to return to the team in training starting on July 11. In its first training session on July 14, 36 players are expected to be present, including Werner and two other players who return on loans, Andre Silva and Eljiv Elmas, who are uncertain about the future.
