Chelsea no dey rest this summer. Dem dey chase plenty players, but one name wey dey hot for Stamford Bridge now na Xavi Simons. The Dutch baller dey shine for RB Leipzig, and Chelsea don ready to bring am come Premier League. But dem no wan pay the full money wey Leipzig dey ask.
Why? Because Simons contract get only two years remain, and Chelsea wan use that take press price down. Na real street sense transfer move be this one.
Why Xavi Simons Dey Hot Cake?
Simons na baller wey sabi. E young, e fast, and e get brain. E fit play wing, fit play attacking midfield, and e dey create plenty chances. For Leipzig last season, the guy tear league apart. Na why plenty clubs dey eye am.
But Chelsea don take front position. Why? Because dem don dey talk to the player and e camp for weeks. Reports say personal terms no be wahala—na the money between Chelsea and Leipzig still dey hang.
Contract Matter Wey Chelsea Wan Use Press Price
Leipzig dey ask something like €70 million. But Chelsea dey talk say e too much, especially since Xavi Simons contract go end for 2027, wey mean just two seasons remain. Normally, once contract near end like this, club wey hold the player no too get power again, unless dem wan renew am—which Leipzig never do.
Chelsea dey reason say Leipzig go gree drop price if nobody come rush the player now-now. Dem dey try make Leipzig no lose the guy for cheaper price next summer or for free later. Smart move abi?
Chelsea Still Need Sell Players First
But make we yarn truth—Chelsea no just dey use mouth. Dem know say before dem go fit push serious money, dem need offload plenty players. Players like Sterling, Broja, Chilwell, Jackson, Nkunku, even some of the new boys like Marc Guiu don dey market.
Dem wan sell to balance books and raise money. Once dem do that, Chelsea go come full force for Simons with maybe €55–60m offer. Still be big money, but better pass wetin Leipzig dey shout now.
Xavi Simons Wan Come England
One sweet thing wey dey Chelsea side na say Xavi Simons self wan return Premier League. The boy dey hungry to play for big club, and Chelsea project under Enzo Maresca dey sweet am. Na attacking football, young squad, space to shine—everything fit him style.
Reports even talk say Arsenal and Bayern dey look am too, but none of them don make solid move like Chelsea. Na Chelsea dey push pass for now.
Leipzig No Too Rush, But Time Dey Tickle
RB Leipzig no be mumu club. Dem sabi say market still dey open, and other clubs fit come late. So dem dey relax. But Chelsea dey press dem with time—because every day wey pass, Xavi Simons contract dey reduce value.
If Leipzig no sell am now, next summer e price go drop more. And if Simons talk say e no wan renew, na real gbege. Chelsea dey bet say Leipzig go bend once pressure start.
How E Fit End?
This kind deal fit land for something like €60m, maybe plus add-ons. Or Chelsea go negotiate staggered payments—pay small now, pay balance next year. Anything wey go make deal soft on their books.
If Chelsea pull this off, dem go get one of Europe best young ballers, and e go fit blend well with squad wey Maresca dey build.
But if dem miss am? Omo, another club go collect am fast-fast.
Chelsea dey play am smart. Dem sabi say short contract na leverage, and dem dey use am well. Xavi Simons fit be key signing this summer—na just to see who blink first: Chelsea or Leipzig.
Make we dey look.
