Chelsea receives a significant advancement in signing Xavi Simons as the sought-after player removes RB Leipzig from his social media profiles
In the ongoing summer transfer market, Chelsea is making moves to bring in some fresh talent. One such player is 22-year-old Xavi Simons, who has been eyed by the London-based club.
Reports suggest that Simons, currently with RB Leipzig, is on the brink of a move to Stamford Bridge. Personal terms have allegedly been agreed, and an official bid is expected soon [1][4]. This impending transfer could be the reason behind Simons' recent removal of any reference to RB Leipzig from his social media bio.
While the deal is yet to be finalized, the absence of RB Leipzig from Simons' bio could be a sign that he is preparing for a new chapter in his career. It's worth noting that his social media accounts still feature posts of him wearing the RB Leipzig kit [2].
Meanwhile, Chelsea is also looking to offload some players to make room for Simons. Names like Christopher Nkunku, Armando Broja, Tyrique George, and Carney Chukwuemeka have been proposed as potential makeweights in negotiations with RB Leipzig [3].
Interestingly, there are rumours swirling around Dele Alli, who appears to be considering a potential move to Chelsea. The midfielder, currently not part of Como squad, has been banished by Cesc Fabregas, and his actions suggest a possible transfer [5]. Ali Barat, with close ties to Chelsea, is reportedly working with Alli on this potential move [6].
In other news, Alli is among several Chelsea stars that Dele Alli is following on Instagram, including Liam Delap, Levi Colwill, and Romeo Lavia [7].
As the transfer window remains open, fans and pundits alike are keeping a close eye on these developments. In the meantime, they can engage in the Dream Team, a free-to-play game offering over £100,000 in total prize money. Participants can form their teams, participate in Mini Leagues against their friends, and submit their team for Gameweek 1 to enter a £5,000 prize draw [8].
Stay tuned for more updates as the transfer saga unfolds.
