I can't see him signing for Chelsea but at the same time I cannot see us paying the transfer fee and wages unless either Salah or Mane leaves.
I can see Barca, Real Madrid or PSG signing him.

Especially since he wants CL football. Chelsea are 4th only 3 points ahead of Man Utd in 5th it would be a huge gamble to join Chelsea with trainee manager Lampard if he wants the CL.
I think Chelsea leaked it to put pressure on player to join

I'm not too bothered if we sign Werner or not but the fact we never have money to spend unless we sell is a concern.how many big money making deals have we done?and still no money in the transfer windows.

I think this is similar to the comments he's been making for the last few months about wanting to join us, no doubt he/his agent has spoken to other clubs like Chelsea, RM, Barca etc, so they leak stories he's in talks with Chelsea, until he signs for someone, this is just all posturing and trying to get a move, if I was RB I wouldn't be happy with all this.
I'm not particularly bothered if we sign him or not, having seen him play in Bundesliga he looks a quality finisher, but doesn't seem to link in with the build up play that much, more of a target man using his pace to break away from the defence, so I'm not sure if he would suit our current play.
I think we do need quality cover for the front 3, so let's see.

Chances are Chelsea will offer £200k wages. The likes of Hudson Odoi are on £180k. We would only offer £125k. Probably less under a Covid contract.
We cannot match the lure of London. Or Madrid. Or Bayern for that matter.
If he wants to come to us a year later like he has said then that will still happen. Yep. If reports are true then he wants to join us. If he then goes to Chelsea then he obviously wasn’t that bothered and is just chasing the coin so not the kind I want for the club. Nothing is done yet though. If reports are true, he might want his situation sorted quickly instead of dragging maybe for a year if RB Leipzig dont want to sell below the exit trigger. As most players, they are not attached to LFC (lately only Gerrard was for obvious reasons) and I am sure that even VVD woukd have moved to another club if they were willing to pay what Southampton wanted. Good that we got money selling Coutinho and FSG moved their arses quickly, albeit after 6 months. Chelsea as a club doesnt have more money than us right now looking at their accounts by the way. And have an owner worth over $12bn compared to ours at just over $2bn. Perhaps they’re taking a different view of how the financial landscape will look after the pandemic and with Abramovic worth that much more can afford to. It’s not just as simple as we have a better balance sheet so can afford more. Way too simplistic. So we have the wrong owners then?

The wrong owners..............
Who have helped us to get to 2 CL Finals (winning 1) and on the verge of winning our first PL in 30 years, also winning competitions like Club World Championship & Europa Super Cup, a Europa League final we lost, brought us probably the best manager in the world and having help assemble a top squad playing great football, improved the stadium, massively improved the business/commercial and helped make us self sufficient, helped clear huge debts that brought us to the brink of going out of business less than 10 years ago......... apart from that what have FSG ever done for us?
All that while keeping us within FFP and the club name not being tainted by claims of cheating/financial doping/sports washing.
I'm sure Hicks & Gillett were richer than FSG, if you prefer we go back to them as owners?
