According to German outlet Bild, Werner has been told that he is surplus to requirements at Leipzig and won't be called upon to play for the Bundesliga club again.
Werner, who has one year remaining on his £8.6m-per-season contact, is thought to have been told he won't even be used in club friendlies if he chooses to see out his current deal.
The forward has reportedly been offered a two-and-a-half year deal with fellow Red Bull owned outfit New York Red Bulls in the MLS.
The offer, which would be worth around £3.5m-per-season, is understood to have been rejected by Werner and his camp.

Werner hasn't featured for Leipzig since December 2023, spending the last 18 months on loan in the Premier League with Spurs.
His time in North London failed to live up to expectations, with the 57-time German International scoring just three times in 41 appearances for Tottenham.
Coupled with his previous unsuccessful time with Chelsea, it's no surprise that it's been reported that no Premier League clubs are in for the versatile attacker as things stand.
Werner was criticised by former manager Ange Postecoglou while at Tottenham.

"When you've got 18-year-olds [playing], it's not acceptable to me and I said that to Timo. He's a senior German international.
"The moment we're in right now, it's not like we've got many options. I need everyone to at least be going out there trying to give the best of themselves.
"His performance in the first half wasn't acceptable."
