On Tuesday the medical check is on the program, after which the signature is expected. Werner is said to cost 19.5 million euros plus bonuses and receive a four-year contract.
The striker moved from Leipzig to London two years ago for 53 million euros and won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021.
However, Werner was not able to earn a regular place in the team of team manager Thomas Tuchel. In 89 compulsory games, he scored 23 goals for the Blues.

During this time, the native of Stuttgart also made his debut in the national team, for which he has played 53 international matches since 2017.

However, the Slovenian from sister club RB Salzburg should stay with the Austrian series champions for another year and gain more experience.
The transfer fee is said to be 24 million euros. Sesko had also attracted interest from several top English clubs.
