70 million euros! British media: Chelsea is interested in Xavi Simmons and has reached an agreement on personal terms

According to British media Talksport, Chelsea intends to sign Xavi Simmons this summer, and RB Leipzig is asking for 70 million euros.

It is reported that Chelsea has reached an agreement with Xavi Simmons on personal terms, which joined RB Leipzig from Paris Saint-Germain for a fixed transfer fee of 50 million euros plus a floating clause in January this year.

Since the 30 million floating clause when purchasing Simmons has not been fully fulfilled, RB Leipzig is willing to sell him for 70 million euros. It is reported that Chelsea even believes that it is possible to reach a deal at a price below this number, and Leipzig can still make considerable profits. Leipzig also hopes to join the transfer share clause.

It was revealed that Simmons' agent Ali Bharat was the core figure in the deal because he maintained a good relationship with both clubs.

Chelsea believe that Xavi Simmons has a comprehensive skill and can play many positions. Signing him can allow Joao Pedro to appear more at the No. 9 position. And even with Gittens already joining, Chelsea still hopes for more offensive options on the left.
