"Chelsea" and "RB Leipzig" clubs are continuing negotiations regarding the transfer of attacking midfielder Xavi Simons. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Previously, this transfer was considered almost finalized, but the parties have not yet fully agreed on all terms. According to The Guardian, to facilitate the negotiations, Chelsea is ready to include their forward Christopher Nkunku in the agreement.
For reference, Nkunku played for "RB Leipzig" before moving to England and showed good results. Xavi Simons has reached an agreement on personal terms with Chelsea, and now both clubs are waiting to officially finalize the transfer.
The Transfermarkt portal has valued the 22-year-old Dutch player at 70 million euros, which is twice the price of Nkunku.
Negotiations are ongoing, and the parties are expected to resolve all issues in the coming days. Thus, an official announcement regarding Xavi Simons' transfer to Chelsea may be made soon.
