Chelsea started exploring the opportunities to sign Xavi Simons of RB Leipzig with the Dutchman who was thought to be open to a move to Stamford Bridge, while the blues are still looking a forward one this summer.
De Leipzig -Man, who was previously in PSV and PSG's books, has become a leading light for the German side and is linked to a Premier League switch. Chelsea has made movements to see if the move would be on the cards and whether the player is enthusiastic.
Simons scored 11 times previous term and came up with a stunning attack for the Netherlands in their Euro 2024 semi-final loss for England last summer. He is not the only player who has announced Chelsea their interest
Enzo Maresca has expressed the wish to possibly sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United. The future of the Argentinian at the Old Trafford is far from certain and the club is willing to greatly lower its asking price to get him out of their books.
Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa is also a player where Chelsea stands. The Engelsman has just enjoyed his best season so far and the blues could consider making an offer for the 22-year-old, who recently scored a career-best.
The interest of Chelsea comes despite the fact that they add three big names to their front line this summer. They have spent more than £ 100 million to land Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens with some of those who help the blues to claim Club World Cup Glory in America.
The prize money of that success has helped their balance and enabled them to keep investing, but they still have to get players out. Their transfer activity from here is still somewhat dependent on people who leave Stamford Bridge.
Noni Madueke has just completed a move to Arsenal that the club offered £ 50 million. Christopher Nunku is expected to leave the club and Joao Felix was also told that he can leave with Benfica to West-London, where he first made his name, interested in signing him again.
Nicolas Jackson is, even though he is the most important man of the team in the past term, is by no means assured of his future and can be moved if a suitable offer arrives. United is credited with interest while watching a new no. 9 and Pedro and Delap can influence the playing time of Jackson.
