Xavi Simons seems to have made up his mind about his future, and Chelsea are taking notice.
The Dutch midfielder has taken a bold step by skipping RB Leipzig’s training ahead of a possible move to Stamford Bridge.
Simons’ absence from training and his decision to remove all mentions of RB Leipzig from his Instagram bio suggest that he’s eager to join Chelsea.
He has also started following Chelsea players online, which has sparked speculation about his potential move. These actions are seen as strong indicators of his intentions, and Chelsea are likely to take them seriously.
The transfer talks between Chelsea and RB Leipzig are progressing well, with the German club reportedly asking for around £60 million.
