Who is Timo Werner dating? Here's all we know about Chelsea striker's love life and girlfriend Julia Nagler
All eyes are stuck on German professional soccer player Timo Werner ahead of the Liverpool vs Chelsea match. He plays as a striker for the English Premier League club Chelsea and the Germany national team. Earlier this summer, he joined the Blues for a $61 million (£47.5 million) deal on a five-year contract amid rumors of being linked to the Reds for over a year. As per reports, Werner picked the London team in lieu of a huge financial package worth $220K (£173,000) per week.
In an exclusive interview with The Athletic, Werner explained not moving to Liverpool, “In another world, it could have happened.” Stressing on how it was not just the moolah that drove him to the Pensioners, he added, “If LFC call, you have to listen and think about it. They are one of the best teams on the world, with a super coach — a German coach to boot. Of course, you think about that. But in the end, my decision went Chelsea’s way. Not because there was anything wrong with Liverpool. But at Chelsea, the whole package was a better fit for me.”
Born in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg to amateur footballer and coach Günther Schuh and Sabine Werner, Timo Werner has played for Germany at every age group since he was 15. After his debut in 2013, Werner became the youngest player ever to represent VfB Stuttgart and soon transitioned to be the club's youngest ever goalscorer. Back in 2016, he joined RB Leipzig for a then-club record fee of $11 million (€10 million) and went on to become one of the best strikers.
Who is Timo Werner dating?
As football fans look forward to his stint in Chelsea, here's a glimpse of his personal life. Nicknamed as Turbo Timo for his pace, energy, and acceleration, Werner was spotted in central London with his girlfriend back in August, Daily Mail reported. As per the outlet, the 24-year-old was seen walking out of the swanky Novikov Restaurant in Mayfair with his partner Julia Nagler. If reports are to be believed, the pair first made a public appearance at an RB Leipzig Christmas party in 2017, and then she was seen in the stands during Germany's disastrous 2018 World Cup campaign in Russia.
The 23-year-old is his childhood sweetheart and the two have kept their private lives away from the spotlight. Nagler is believed to be a student from Stuttgart and reports say she will accompany Werner in London as his Chelsea career takes off. The couple has allegedly been together for several years now. However, neither of them have publicly spoken about their relationship.
Mysteriously, there seems to be a bit of confusion around his lady love's name. HitC reports he is dating Paula Lense — whose pictures are available on Getty Images too. Moreover, his Instagram posts never really show the face of his girlfriend. Who is he really dating? Although we do not have any confirmation as of now, we will update this space once either of them speaks up.
