Although Chelsea has been busy this summer, landing agreements for players like Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro, and Liam Delap, further arrivals are anticipated over the course of the next week. As the Blues attempt to balance the books following yet another period of significant spending, sales will also be crucial.
A goalless draw against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge last weekend marked the start of Enzo Maresca’s team’s Premier League campaign and served as a stark reminder that more work needs to be done in the transfer market to best prepare the squad for the upcoming campaign.
Xavi Simons, an offensive midfielder for RB Leipzig, is one name that has been in the news a lot lately. Although talks are still going on, there are presently no reports of an agreement between the teams, despite the Dutchman being strongly linked to a move to Chelsea.
Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany, however, claims that Simons is anticipated to finalize a transfer to Chelsea following Leipzig’s Bundesliga debut on Friday against Bayern Munich. Later this week, Leipzig will travel to play the defending champions to start their campaign.
According to the source, Leipzig already has a contract with Harvey Elliott of Liverpool as a possible Simons successor in case he departs before the deadline.
According to football. London, Leipzig’s pursuit of a replacement is encouraging for Chelsea. Even said, a deal with a player does not guarantee a deal with the selling team, particularly if that team is Liverpool, who are notorious for demanding high prices. Nevertheless, all indications point to the possibility of a deal being completed in time, even though there hasn’t seemed to be much progress in recent weeks.
