Chelsea is said to be about to complete their next big summer signature that the Premier League rival Liverpool Mays should see with his replacement
Chelsea is reportedly set to get the green light on their movement for Xavi Simons after RB Leipzig has agreed personal conditions with Harvey Elliott. Liverpool -Forecast Elliott is linked as the top candidate to follow Simons, who now seems to be more likely to move as Leipzig approaches his replacement.
The blues have already spent around £ 260 million on new signing sessions this summer, with most of their new recruits in midfield and attacks. However, Chelsea remains enthusiastic about a deal for Dutch forward Simons, because Enzo Maresca wants to complete a late summer activities.
And Sky Germany has reported that the move could continue after Leipzig Face Bayern Munich in their Bundesliga opener on Friday. That is after the 22-year-old Elliott, who is reportedly open to leave Anfield to secure more playing time, is supposed to have given up the thumbs on a switch to Saxony.
It is believed that Leipzig is looking for £ 60 million in the region of £ 60 million to separate with Simons, who is also a target for Manchester City. The Dutchman spent 18 months on loan with the German outfit before they spent a club record compensation, possibly increasing to £ 67 million if all bonuses are met.
Reports in Germany suggested that Simons Leipzig would like to leave after their failures to qualify for the Champions League of this season. Chelsea would be able to satisfy the needs of the player in that respect, hoping to continue under Maresca after winning the FIFA Club World Cup.
The West Londoners defeated the former employers of Simons Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the Club World Cup. And Les Parisiens will receive a windfall of any future transfer thanks to the sales clause that is included in its current contract.
Elliott's agreement to become a member of the Red Bulls is an important piece in the Domino effect that had to fall to free Simons. The winger moved to Anfield in 2019, but has difficulty cracking the starting XI under both Jurgen Klopp and the sitting Arne Slot.
Liverpool is also supposed to have the idea of a sale to balance their books this summer. The MerseSiders have already spent almost £ 300 million on new signing sessions, but have also sold around £ 200 million in talent.
Elliott's paralyzing would have a different significant impact on bringing the club's finances in line. Liverpool is said to have their husbands leave for around £ 45 million.
Chelsea -Misfit Christopher Nunku is also connected to an exit this summer, with Leipzig said among the interested parties. And the Guardian reported that his old team had presented their efforts after Bayern had hit an impasse in their pursuit.
A Like-For-Like Swap between Simons and Nunku could have been the simplest option, because Chelsea looks one of their top goals. However, it seems that the stage is set for Elliott to join Leipzig instead, which could align the stars for the Simons switch on Stamford Bridge.
