Chelsea’s interest in Xavi Simons seem to be holding increasing weight, yesterday I read something on the internet but not sure how much fact there is to it, it says Chelsea are almost at an agreement with Xavi on personal terms. If the rumors are true then Chelsea are certainly building a scary team in the premier league, a team capable of competing for every title next season.
Chelsea already reached the verbal deal with Xavi. However, they're not yet dealing with his club about his transfer fees. I believe they will be working on it again next week as we approach the week end. They fully committed in bringing him to the Stamford Bridge, and i believe the final agreement will be reached next week.
They have no problem with the players as verbal agreement reached. The only problem is his club, which is still pricing him so high. Also they have to sell their player to give him empty seat.
