San Jose Earthquakes have completed the transfer of German international Timo Werner on a high-profile Designated Player deal.
The MLS club confirmed the move on Tuesday, bringing Werner to the Bay Area as one of the biggest additions in team history and a clear statement of intent ahead of the run-in. The forward arrives with a major reputation in Europe and is expected to become a headline figure for the Earthquakes from the moment he joins the group.
Werner, a Germany international, makes the switch to Major League Soccer after spells at the top level in Europe, where he built his name through pace, direct running and a strong scoring record across domestic and continental competition.
San Jose confirmed the agreement is a Designated Player signing, underlining both the scale of the move and the club’s ambition to push on in MLS. The deal has been completed, with Werner set to link up with the Earthquakes as they look to climb the table and build momentum through the second half of the season.
The signing is another example of MLS clubs targeting established European names, and San Jose will hope Werner’s experience and end product can translate quickly in a league where decisive attacking players can change a team’s direction.
Further registration details will follow through the usual league process, but the key point is now official: Werner is an Earthquakes player, and San Jose have landed a marquee Designated Player to lead their attack.
