Transfer talks are heating up as Xavi Simons moves closer to a switch from RB Leipzig to Chelsea FC. The Dutch midfielder was notably absent from Leipzig’s training session on Friday and is not expected to feature in the squad for today’s match — a clear sign that the transfer is gaining momentum.
Simons recently removed RB Leipzig from his Instagram bio, fueling speculation that he has already made his decision to join Chelsea. Negotiations between the two clubs are at an advanced stage, with discussions ongoing around the player’s valuation.
With his current contract running until June 2027, Simons has firmly communicated his desire to leave and no intention of extending his stay at Leipzig. Chelsea are now in pole position to secure the talented playmaker as part of their ongoing squad rebuild under Enzo Maresca.
