Biography, early career and first records of a football player
Timo Werner was born March 6, 1996 in Stuttgart, Germany. Between 2002 and 2013 played in the youth system of the club with the same name of his city. In the 2012/13 season, he played as a member of the “Swabs” until the age of 19, but at that time he was only sixteen. Timo scored 24 years during the season and was awarded the Fritz Walter Medal in 2013.
The player’s professional debut took place the same year in the UEFA Europa League qualifying match against Botev Club (Bulgaria). After the match, he became the youngest player to ever play in an official match for Stuttgart, breaking Gerhard Poschner's record. At the time of the match, Werner was 17 years old, four months and 25 days. In the following weeks, the midfielder broke the age record in the Bundesliga and the DF-Pokal Cup. In addition, Werner became the youngest scorer in the German championship, which fell into the goal net of Eintracht Frankfurt. And that's not all, either - in the match against Freiburg, Timo Werner became the youngest player to score a double in the Bundesliga.
Professional career: playing for the Swabians and moving to RB Leipzig
At his eighteenth birthday, Timo Werner signed a professional contract with Stuttgart until June 2018, but spent only three seasons on the team. During this period, the striker scored 14 goals in 96 league matches, becoming the youngest player in history to play 50 matches in the German championship. This entry was later crossed out by Kaye Havertz from Bayer 04 in 2018. In May 2016, the “Swabians” flew from the Bundesliga to the lower division, which prompted Werner to join the newly made club RB Leipzig next month.

Personal life: Timo Werner and his girlfriend
The German football player always kindly communicates with reporters, sharing his sporting successes and immediate plans, but he does not open up about his personal life. Rumor had it that Werner broke up with his girlfriend. Then the fans of the football player again got the opportunity to get his heart. However, this did not last very long. Currently, Timo is in a romantic relationship with the skater, whose name he hid for a long time. But, as you know, all the secret sooner or later becomes apparent, especially when it comes to the famous athlete and the coveted bachelor. So there was information that the girl Timo Werner is called Julia Nagler.
