The German 27-year-old striker Timo Werner went under the spotlight in the last few hours after is return to English football to join Tottenham in London, a city he knows really well since his stage in the Premier League as a Chelsea player from 2020 to 2022, period where he was able to win the Champions League with the Blues being one of the main players in the competition.

However, the German striker could have signed for Liverpool instead of Chelsea at that moment as Werner himself revealed at the start of this season in an interview for The Athletic, where he revealed the negotiations he had with the Merseyside club and the reason why he finally decided to snub the Reds to join Chelsea.

According to Werner, Chelsea would have been his best option to join the Premier League at that moment, when he was required by the Blues to join their team instead of Liverpool, who would have already made an offer for the player which was rejected by Werner to accept a bigger proposal from the West London team.

“In another context, it could have happened. If Liverpool calls you have to listen and think. They are one of the best clubs in the world, with a super coach, German to boot. Of course you think about it. In the end, my decision was to take the path to Chelsea. Not because something happened to Liverpool. At Chelsea the whole package fit better for me,” he said to The Athletic, leaving clear that the financial proposal and the role he was going to have for the Blues would have convinced him to join the Londonders instead of Liverpool.
