Chelsea Close to Xavi Simons Deal as Leipzig Target Liverpool Star Harvey Elliott
Chelsea are on the verge of securing Dutch midfielder Xavi Simons, with the transfer expected to be completed after RB Leipzig’s Bundesliga opener against Bayern Munich.
Leipzig, already preparing for his exit, have lined up Harvey Elliott as their preferred replacement. According to reports from journalist Florian Plettenberg, the German club has reached an agreement on personal terms with the Liverpool playmaker and is now pushing ahead with a formal deal.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are open to negotiations and could allow the 22-year-old to leave if the right offer arrives before the window closes.
Should both transfers go through, it could spark a domino effect in the European market, reshaping the midfield options for Chelsea, Leipzig, and Liverpool in the final stretch of the summer transfer period.
