Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti keen on signing Chelsea forward Timo Werne

Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly interested in bringing Timo Werner from Chelsea to Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Timo Werner has emerged as a key target for Carlo Ancelotti heading into the summer transfer window. The Real Madrid manager wants to raid Chelsea for the German forward, who could be available for an affordable price.

Werner arrived at Chelsea from RB Leipzig last summer in a big-money deal, with a lot of hype surrounding him at the time of the transfer. However, 2020/21 ended up being one to forget for the 25-year-old forward, even though he finished the campaign with 12 goals and 15 assists – by far the most direct contributions to a goal for the Blues.

In particular, it was his output in front of goal that left a lot to be desired, with Chelsea now looking to sign a top-class striker for a second successive summer – the likes of Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku, and Erling Haaland have all been linked. Werner’s stock, though, has not fallen seemingly, with Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti looking to sign him.
