Leipzig: Xavi Simons forces his departure to Chelsea

It is more and more likely that Xavi Simons evolves in the Premier League next season. The 22 -year -old striker is close to finding an agreement with Chelsea, while the Blues and his current club, Leipzig, continue negotiations. The German club 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.

Xavi Simons deleted any mention of Leipzig from his biography on social networks, while retaining the publications showing him with the jersey of the German club. He also made the choice to dry a training this Friday as revealed by Fabrizio Romano, and he should not participate in the German meeting against Atalanta this Saturday. The most attentive fans will also have noticed that he began to follow several stars of Chelsea on Instagram, such as Liam Delap, Levi Colwill and Roméo Lavia. Even before his transfer is formalized, the former Parisian already seems acclimatized to Stamford Bridge.
