The transfer expert Fabrizio Romano personally confirmed that Chelsea was negotiating to recruit Xavi Simons, the player of RB Leipzig.
Xavi Simons and Benjamin Sesko are two players who planned to break up with RB Leipzig, after the team did not have tickets to the European Cup next season. The German team also has to sell at least a big star to balance the financial balance due to not attending the European Cup.
Xavi Simons is the top goal of Chelsea. Arsenal also shows the interest of this player. However, it is likely that Chelsea – FIFA Club World Cup 2025 champion – will get the Dutch player's signature.

“Chelsea is targeting some goals. In terms of Xavi Simons, everything is progressing very well. The negotiations are going well between Xavi Simons and Chelsea, and reaching an agreement on personal terms is gradually completing.
Currently not finished but the two sides have positive contacts. Xavi Simons is very interested in Chelsea's project, wishing to move to Chelsea. Arsenal is still interested, but they have other priorities. Bayern is closely watching the situation but their focus is Liverpool's Luis Diaz.
Contacts with RB Leipzig will also take place soon because RB Leipzig is very interested in Carney Chukwuemeka. Chelsea stopped negotiating with Dortmund because the German team asked to lend, while Chelsea only agreed to sell or he would stay. ”
