Where will Chelsea bulimia stop on the transfer market? Not this year obviously this year, since after having broken the spending record last year, the London club continues to multiply purchases in 2025. After Delap, Gittens, Joao Pedro, Mr. Sarr, Estevao, Paez and Essuego for a total exceeding € 240 million, Chelsea did not plan to stop there. In particular concerning its offensive sector, which is already overcrowded.

A few days ago, the English press claimed that Chelsea explored the possibility of a deal for Morgan Rogers, revelation of the season on the side of Aston Villa. Capable of playing under the attacker, in a point or even on a wing, the English recently extended his contract with the Villans and appears as a complicated target. Xavi Simons, on the contrary, seems the ideal candidate.

The RB Leipzig will not oppose its departure

Because according to information from Skysports GermanyChelsea contacted the representatives of the Dutch international, passed by PSG and bought definitively by the RB Leipzig on January 30 for € 50 million (+ € 30 million in bonuses). Leipzig, a city that the 22 -year -old player wishes to leave, who has the feeling of having toured the question, with the desire to join the Premier League as a priority.

Until now, this was not jostling at the gate, but now Chelsea to knock on the door. Negotiations did not start between the clubs, the London club first wishing to know if an agreement is possible with the player. Then, it will be necessary to get along with the RB Leipzig, who, aware of the will of the player, will open the door for an amount of around € 70 million. Be a little more than Chelsea paid for Gittens at Borussia Dortmund or for Joao Pedro in Brighton. It remains to be seen whether Enzo Maresca really needs additional offensive reinforcement.
