Werner has left RB Leipzig to join San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS, his former club announced Thursday.

Werner struggled to get things going and was limited to just 13 minutes off the bench across three Bundesliga appearances in 2025-26. He should be a regular starter for San Jose right away, as he joins the club as a Designated Player, and this seems like the perfect opportunity for Werner to get his career back on track. He hasn't scored a goal in a competitive match since the 2023/24 season when he was playing for Tottenham Hotspur. Werner's deal with the Earthquakes goes until the end of the 2027/28 MLS season.
