Chelsea wants to recruit Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. |
Chelsea has shown significant attention to Xavi Simons and is promoting talks with the representative of this player. In addition to Chelsea, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and especially Arsenal are also closely monitoring Simons's situation.
Xavi Simons is highly appreciated for its versatility, can play well in the central attacking midfielder and left wing corridor. With the ability to score 11 goals and 8 assists after 33 appearances last season, he was expected to significantly upgrade the attack power for Chelsea.
However, it seems that Chelsea is having an advantage in this race, especially when Simons is said to have asked adviser Ali Barat (who helped Chelsea recruit Moises Caicedo) to take himself to Chelsea.
RB Leipzig is now said to have set a high price for Simons, ranging from 68 million pounds (about 80 million euros) to 95 million pounds. Chelsea is said to be trying to negotiate to reduce this price.
As for Xavi Simons, according to many sources, this player is currently looking forward to playing in the Premier League. That is also why he had quite positive feedback on the ability to move to the Stamford Bridge team.
