A move for another attacker might depend on Xavi Simons leaving, although Chelsea has checked on the player, who is reportedly open to a move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea is open to adding another attacker during this transfer window, even though they have already signed Liam Delap, João Pedro, and Jamie Gittens and are getting ready for Willian Estêvão to arrive.
West Londoners have now made their first move after the Blues have been weighing their options with the 22-year-old forward from RB Leipzig, as reported in recent days. Simons’ representatives, including super agent Ali Barat, who played a key role in Noni Madueke’s recent transfer to Arsenal, are in talks with Chelsea.
According to reports from Germany today, Leipzig is willing to sell the Netherlands international Simons for €65 million (£56 million). Chelsea will make every effort to lower that price, but they are still eager to let go of a few players to make the transfer easier.
Fabrizio Romano drops major Xavi Simons to Chelsea update
Simons has been considered one of the best football players in the world since his early years at Barcelona. He has shown us hints of his quality thus far, but it seems like he may still have a few more tricks up his sleeve.
However, a firm move for one of their striking targets might be contingent upon the sale or transfer of another striker for Chelsea. The club is anticipated to let go of Christopher Nkunku, and Chelsea will most likely want to replace him with a player like Simons or Rogers, who can play from the left or centrally behind a striker.
Simons is regarded as a feasible target for Chelsea, who want up to nine players vying for their offensive slots in the upcoming campaign.
Players from outside of England now view the team more favorably as a result of its Champions League qualification and Club World Cup victory, and Simons is rumored to be considering a move to Stamford Bridge.
