: Despite Barcelona's offer, Werner prefers to join Manchester United.
Despite getting an offer from Barcelona, Chelsea player Timo Werner favours a move to Manchester United, according to Spanish source El Nacional. The thought of playing under new Red Devils manager Ralf Rangnick has piqued the German's interest.
Werner joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga for about £47.5 million last year. The Blues hoped that the Germany international would establish himself as the undisputed No. 9 for the team.
However, both Chelsea and Timo Werner have had problems with the trade thus far. The 25-year-old has battled to establish himself at Stamford Bridge, with only 15 goals in 64 appearances.
Chelsea re-signed Romelu Lukaku in the summer after Timo Werner's difficulties in front of goal. The German is battling to find playing time at the club, with players like Romelu Lukaku, Kai Havertz, and Christian Pulisic ahead of him in the pecking order.
Barcelona is said to be interested in Timo Werner, who is still struggling to make an impact at Chelsea. The Catalans are even willing to sign the former Stuttgart star on a loan deal with a £34 million option to make the transfer permanent.
