There has now been some stunning reports in the media which have claimed that Chelsea can sign Xavi Simons for just £52 million this summer window. The 21-year-old, after bagging 19 goals and eight assists during a loan at PSV Eindhoven last season, has racked up seven goals and 11 assists during his stint at RB Leipzig this season.....Read The Full Story Here ▶
There has been talk that he will head back to parent club PSG at the end of the season to be given a chance in their squad – but that ha snot stopped speculation that a number of Premier League clubs will make a cheeky offer for the talented attacker.
Now – Spanish outlet Sport have reported that the Ligue 1 giants are willing to start discussions for the 21-year-old at €60million (around £52million)
CBS football correspondent Jonathan Johnson recently spoke in an interview with CaughtOffside, and said there has been “talk” of a potential CHELSEA offer to sign Simons from PSG.
“It will be interesting to see if that’s what Enrique wants, but based on what he’s said publicly, he seems very keen on Simons’ profile,” said Johnson on Simons’ future in the French capital.
“There’s been talk of potential offers from the likes of Arsenal, CHELSEA, and Barcelona, but I think it would have to depend on the offer, because I don’t really see PSG doing business unless there’s an offer that’s deemed too good to turn down.
“I expect decisions to be made soon, and PSG’s preparations for next season can even start now, given that they’ve gone out of the Champions League. There’s still a cup final to win, but Ligue 1 has been confirmed, so Enrique can start discussing with the club which positions need reinforcing and how Simons might fit into his plans for next season.”
Another day – another talented player linked with a move to CHELSEA. But unlike many of the other talents linked – Simons is making some serious noise in the game and impressing in different Leagues and the Champions League.
For the right money – he would be a great signing – it is that simple guys.
