Xavi Simons to Chelsea Takes Another Twist! RB Leipzig Want 352m Forward in Deal

Chelsea’s move for Xavi Simons has taken another dramatic turn, with RB Leipzig keen on bringing Christopher Nkunku back to the club.

The West London club are still incredibly interested in Simons, 22, but are insisting on selling more players before they make an official bid.

Nkunku, 27, is one of those players expected to leave, and according to Fabrizio Romano, Leipzig are keen on re-signing the Frenchman.

Leipzig are understood to value Simons at 360 million, while Chelsea are hoping to negotiate them down to a fee closer to 350m.

Young winger Tyrique George, who has reportedly told Chelsea he would like to leave in pursuit of first-team football, has also been discussed by the Germans.
