The Premier League will have won everything on this summer transfer window, be it small or large stables. Among them, Chelsea offered himself Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, João Pedro, Mamadou Sarr, Estevão, Kendry Paez, Dario Essugo and lately Jorrel Hato for a total of around 280 million €. But the Londoners did not plan to stop there. In particular concerning their offensive sector, however already overcrowded, but among which there should be movement by the end of the transfer window.
The English press recently announced that the Blues had contacted the representatives of Xavi Simons (22 years old), passed by PSG and bought definitively by the RB Leipzig on January 30 for € 50 million (+ € 30 million in bonuses). But the German club, which has also lost Benjamin Sesko, transferred to Manchester United, claims nearly 69 million euros. For its part, the Dutch international (28 selections, 5 goals) puts pressure in its own way to join the Enzo Maresca team.
Christopher Nkunku on the start
To find common ground, Chelsea has found a solution. Because there are also contenders at the start on the side of Enzo Maresca's workforce, like Nicolas Jackson or Christopher Nkunku. According to The GuardianChelsea is in negotiations with the RB Leipzig on the subject of a possible exchange between Xavi Simons and the French Blues international. Leipzig would like to bring back the French striker, who joined Stamford Bridge for six years in 2023, and would replace him from Benjamin Sesko.
Negotiations are still underway, and Chelsea will probably have to pay a substantial sum for the 22 -year -old, in addition to Christopher Nkunku to complete this deal. This would reduce the cost of the ex-player from Paris Saint-Germain, estimated at 70 million euros. A solution that could arrange all the parties, while the Blues hope to separate from French and Nicolas Jackson this summer, also on departure after the arrivals of Liam Delap and João Pedro.
