Kicker: Leipzig will sign a former Bremen coach this week, with a termination fee of 1 million to 3 million euros

According to "Kickers", Leipzig is about to sign former Bremen coach Aole Werner, and is expected to pay a termination fee of 1 million to 3 million.

Leipzig needs to find a new coach this summer, but the coach candidates they selected before, Fabregas of Cuomo, Glasner of Crystal Palace, and Nestrup of Copenhagen were not able to negotiate. At present, Leipzig is working hard to sign Ole Werner. "Kicker" said that the negotiations between Leipzig and Ole Werner have entered the final stage, but Bremen still needs to be persuaded to release them.

37-year-old Ole Werner hopes to seek new challenges after coaching Bremen for three and a half years and refuses to renew his contract with Bremen. On May 27 this year, Bremen announced the dismissal of Ole Werner. However, Ole Werner and Bremen have a contract that expires in 2026, and Leipzig needs to pay a certain termination fee to sign with Ole Werner. The estimated termination fee is between 1 million and 3 million euros. In contrast, the termination fee for Fabregas and Glasner exceeds 20 million euros, which is a cost-effective deal from an economic perspective.

"Kicker" said that Klopp, the football director of Leipzig's parent company Red Bull Group, and his assistant Mario Gomez, as well as Leipzig club sports general manager Marcel Schefel, have interviewed Ole Werner. The three senior executives agreed that Ole Werner is not a substitute solution, but a convincing choice, and Ole Werner is also very interested in coaching Leipzig. Leipzig and Ole Werner will officially sign this week.
