- Simons rejects Bayern and City interest
- Only wants تشيلسي move
- Blues looking to offload Nkunku
وفق ESPN the Blues are preparing a bid worth £60 million ($81m) to sign Simons from آر بي لايبزيغ this transfer window. The هولندا international has already made up his mind that he only wants a move to Stamford Bridge this summer, despite strong interest from Bayern and City.
Bayern were looking to sign Simons as a replacement for Coman, who signed for Al-Nassr in this window, but Fabrizio Romano claims that he has already rejected the German champions’ interest. City, on the other hand, are more focused on signing Rodrygo from ريال مدريد, if Savinho‘s move to توتنهام materialises.
The Blues’ pursuit of Simons now completely depends on Christopher Nkunku’s exit from the club, as they need to raise money to match RB Leipzig’s asking price for Simons.
After a goalless draw against كريستال بالاس in their season opener on Sunday, Enzo Maresca’s side will next face وست هام في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز on August 22.
