(Reuters) - Chelsea's Germany striker Timo Werner has signed a four-year contract to return to Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, the two clubs announced on Tuesday.

British media said Leipzig are bringing Werner back for about 25 million pounds after Chelsea paid the Germany forward's 45 million pounds release clause in 2020.

The 26-year-old spent the largest part of his senior career at RB Leipzig between 2016-20 and is the club's all-time top scorer with 95 goals. "Timo Werner's signing is a special transfer for us," Leipzig's commercial director for sport Florian Scholz said. "We ... saw Timo become the club's record goalscorer and a Germany international. His return means a lot to the supporters because Timo was a real fan favourite and figure of identification for a lot of people."
