As things progress, Chelsea FC is reportedly getting very close to making its first offer to RB Leipzig for star attacker Xavi Simons. According to GiveMeSport journalist Ben Jacobs (via @iMiaSanMia), personal terms are pretty much done and now it will be a matter of the teams agreeing on a transfer fee. However, Chelsea still has to make a formal proposal:
Personal terms between Xavi Simons and Chelsea are now ‘broadly’ in place. Chelsea are expected to place a first formal offer soon. Bayern and Arsenal
ADare monitoring the situation but have yet to place bids.
Fabrizio Romano had similar news:
Understand Chelsea and RB Leipzig are now in advanced talks for Xavi Simons.
Negotiations club to club progressing well, still work to do but heading positive direction.
Xavi, keen on Chelsea project with personal terms talks also advanced.
Simons might have been the best overall fit for Bayern Munich’s needs this summer, but he has been rumored to be focused on a move to England.

- Bayern made its last bid on Nick Woltemade, which could still fall short of the mark. If that fails...who’s next? Maybe of three Red Bull-related players.
- Are we headed into an era of stability at Bayern Munich? Despite rumors of disconnect, there could be a pathway forward to structure.
