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.
Both RB Leipzig and Chelsea are in talks for Xavi Simons and it's obvious the player is very much interested in coming to the Stamford bridge. Just a further pressure from Chelsea on RB Leipzig could turn the negotiations rapidly to a conclusion. If we look at long term I think Xavi is a good buy despite the amount Leipzig are placing on him. He's still young and could gain more value in the future for Chelsea. If he eventually comes to Chelsea, he can either play as attacking midfielder or winger.
