The transfer window comes slowly to its end. And who says end of the transfer window necessarily says clubs that start to move in all directions, even more on files that have been lying around since early June. This is particularly the case with Xavi Simons. The Dutch striker of the RB Leipzig is on the start. There is no doubt that he will leave the German club this summer. And it always has a good rating on the market, especially on the side of the Premier League. Holder this Friday evening during the slap received against Bayern Munich (0-6), the former PSG player makes the headlines of the English press this Saturday.
According to information from Daily Mailthe 22 -year -old is at the heart of a fight between Chelsea and Tottenham. The Blues, who started their season with a victory in the final of the Club World Cup against PSG and a large first league victory against West Ham this Friday (5-1), are still looking for offensive talents. And despite the arrivals of Liam Delap, João Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Estévão, Enzo Maresca still wants reinforcements in the offensive sector. In this sense, discussions began to sign Xavi Simons.
Chelsea wants to send Nkunku to Leipzig
The former player passed through Barça has already agreed to join the Premier League. For its part, Leipzig is open to a sale, but not at any cost. “We know his great ambitions to play in a high -level championship for a pretender in the title. He wants to prove himself at the highest level. If this is profitable, we are open. But only at that time. If this is not financially, we look forward to a new season with this exceptional player “entrusted the sports director Marcel Schäfer to Bild. To recover it, Chelsea will have to pay 70 million euros.
THE Daily Mail reveals that the negotiations have resumed in recent hours and that the blues want to do quickly because Tottenham has entered the race. But the training of Enzo Maresca has an argument: an XXL workforce and players for sale. The British daily explains that Chelsea wants to include Christopher Nkunku in this deal in order to lower the price. French has already evolved in Leipzig, and the German club is interested in its return. He also targets the profile of Harvey Elliott to succeed Xavi Simons. It remains to be seen whether this file will go to the end, but this track is obviously well studied during negotiations.
