Xavi Simons Makes Big Transfer Decision Amid Chelsea Links
Chelsea’s target Xavi Simons has made a huge decision amid his transfer saga from RB Leipzig to join the Club World Cup Champions Chelsea ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Xavi Simons is one of the top players Chelsea are targeting this summer, alongside Jorrel Hato, who is reportedly close to completing a long-term move from Ajax. The Netherlands international is eager to finalize his transfer from RB Leipzig and join Chelsea.
The young midfielder stirred speculation after removing Leipzig’s official Instagram handle from his bio. Previously, he had both Puma and RB Leipzig listed, but now only the footwear brand remains—fueling rumors of an impending move.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea must first offload a few players before sealing the Simons deal. The Blues are aiming to balance their books and negotiate a fee lower than Leipzig’s asking price.
So far, Chelsea have parted ways with players like Kepa Arrizabalaga, Noni Madueke, Joao Felix, and Djordje Petrovic. However, more departures are expected as the club eyes potential sales of Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi, Benoît Badiashile, and possibly Nicolas Jackson.
