Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano announced on his X account that German striker Timo Werner is close to transferring to the American club San Jose Earthquakes, confirming that an agreement has been reached between all parties.

Romano explained that Werner will leave Leipzig to embark on a new experience in the American league, where he is expected to sign his contract with San Jose in the coming days, following a verbal agreement reached today.

Romano pointed out that the deal will be a permanent transfer, not a loan, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Werner's professional career in American soccer.

The 29-year-old Werner is joining the American league coming from Leipzig, noting that his contract with the German club was set to expire at the end of the current season.
