Chelsea are also tracking Xavi Simons, the Dutch midfielder from RB Leipzig. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Chelsea's interest, alongside other Premier League clubs, with a possible transfer fee of 70 to 75 million Euros. Simons is capable of playing in multiple midfield roles and could be a significant asset for Chelsea.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Xavi Simons is in high demand among top Premier League clubs. He noted that Chelsea is among the clubs showing interest in Simons, who is regarded as a 'future star' in England. Simons' decision might be affected by RB Leipzig's current position in the Bundesliga, especially if they miss out on the Champions League. The attacking midfielder has a contract with Leipzig that runs until the summer of 2027. However, he could be acquired for just under 72 million euros, following his 50 million euro permanent transfer from Paris Saint-Germain last winter.
