Chelsea FC’s Pursuit of Xavi Simons
Chelsea FC is intensifying their efforts to secure the services of Xavi Simons, a talented midfielder currently with RB Leipzig. The 21-year-old is reportedly receptive to the idea of moving to the Premier League.
Leipzig’s Position
Leipzig, who made a significant investment by signing Simons permanently for an initial fee of €50 million ($58.8 million) earlier this year, are now prepared to let him go as they anticipate a profitable sale in excess of €60 million.
Simons’ Background
Before his permanent transfer, Simons had showcased his abilities during an 18-month loan spell from Paris Saint-Germain to Leipzig. His potential move to Chelsea would mark the club’s eighth acquisition this summer.
Interest from Other Clubs
Notably, Chelsea has not yet finalized personal terms with the player, though interest in Simons is widespread, with Arsenal and Tottenham having previously shown desire to sign him. Further complicating the landscape, reports indicate that Bayern Munich is also monitoring the situation closely.
Additional Transfers
In addition to pursuing Simons, Chelsea is making headway in negotiations for Jorrel Hato, a 19-year-old defender from Ajax, indicating a busy transfer window for the club.
