Bayern Munich would be interested in the recruitment of Xavi Simons, RB Leipzig player, which could complicate the task of the Chelsea FC in its quest to recruit the Dutch international.
According to PA, Bayern is interested in the recruitment of Simons this summer, while Chelsea FC also wishes to recruit the Dutch international. The blues are in direct talks with Leipzig for an agreement to recruit Simons, which could cost them up to 70 million euros (60 million pounds Sterling/82 million dollars).
The Enzo Maresca team would be interested in the inclusion of Carney Chukwuemeka in the exchange. We do not know if Bayern would also like to include players in the agreement to sign Simons, or if it would be able to pay the price requested by Leipzig in cash. The Bundesliga champion has so far only added Jonathan Tah and Tom Bischof to his workforce this summer.
Xavi Simons au Bayern?
In comparison, Chelsea has already spent a lot of money during this transfer period, recruiting Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Estevao, Dario Essugo, Mamadou Sarr and Kendry Paez, for a total amount of 210 million pounds Sterling ($ 285 million). Simons would be very interested in this transfer, but it remains to be seen if the intervention of Bayern, if he formalized his interest, would make him change his mind. He has already been associated with the Bavarian club, even if according to some information, he would like to join the Premier League.
Chelsea will face Bayer Leverkusen on August 8 during his first pre-season friendly match, while Bayern will play against Lyon on August 2. Simons will be in action again next Saturday, when Leipzig faces Toulouse.
