- Simons wanted at Stamford Bridge
- Deal yet to be agreed with آر بي لايبزيغ
- الدوري الألماني club send out warning
The Blues have enjoyed another busy transfer window but could still add more players to their squad before the window closes on September 1st. Simons remains a transfer target, with the Dutch star having reportedly rejected interest from مانشستر سيتي and Bayern as he is keen to head to Stamford Bridge.
RB Leipzig are thought to want around €70 million (£60m) for Simons and don’t appear in any rush to let the exciting youngster depart. Indeed sporting director Marcel Schäfer has warned Enzo Maresca’s side that the Bundesliga club will only sanction the Dutchman’s exit if they are completely happy with all aspects of any proposed deal.
Schäfer told صورة: “A transfer will only happen if it makes sporting and financial sense. If that’s not the case, Xavi will be an RB Leipzig player next year as well.”
تشيلسي will know that time is starting to run out in the transfer window but will hope they can agree a deal for Simons in the coming weeks. In the meantime, Maresca’s side return to action in the الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز on Friday against وست هام.
