Xavi Simons to Chelsea gets much closer after dream latest opportunity arises for Blues | OneFootball

Xavi Simons is a huge step closer to joining Chelsea after the latest news from late last night came through.

Chelsea will be sensing a dream opportunity now to get two of their jobs done in one clean sweep.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea open club-to-club talks to sign star after getting the player buy-in!

The Blues are clearly trying to sign Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig, but it has emerged now that Leipzig want to sign Carney Chukwuemeka from Chelsea. So a dream scenario has now opened up for Chelsea and you get a sense now that this will get done.

Chelsea are trying to get some final deals done in the last six weeks of this summer’s transfer window.

They will be hoping that Benfica can get the Joao Felix signing over the line, although the latest info on this is still not suggesting that anything is advanced there for now.

And defender Renato Veiga has already sorted his personal terms with Atletico Madrid as the two clubs look to thrash out the fee right now; this one looks like it’s expected to go through as well.

Many more outgoings expected

Chelsea are going to be very busy now with outgoing deals as this really becomes the priority even though they are also still looking at signing more new players as well.

But when a potential ‘swap deal’ comes up like the Simons and Chukwuemeka situation, it really is the dream for Chelsea as they look to try and bring Simons in before the end of the window.

Simons in, Chukwuemeka out?

The reliable Sky Germany reporter Patrick Berger put on his X account over night:

“Dortmund’s dream transfer of Carney Chukwuemeka is at risk of falling through. Negotiations with Chelsea are stalling – now RB Leipzig is stepping in.

“The Blues want to sell the player immediately. What could help Leipzig: Chelsea are desperate to sign Xavi Simons. Talks between Chelsea and RB are set to intensify on Wednesday.”
