RB Leipzig Star Xavi Simons makes his choice between Chelsea & Man City after Pep Guardiola enters the race to Sign Him

Here’s a paraphrase of the article:

Manchester City has joined the competition to acquire Xavi Simons, though the RB Leipzig player continues to prefer joining Chelsea as his top choice.

Throughout the summer, Chelsea has been in talks to secure Simons’ signature, and until recently, his transfer to the London club appeared to be a done deal. Despite this, the move hasn’t been finalized yet, leading some media sources to question whether Chelsea might withdraw from the deal.

Adding to the uncertainty, reports emerged Monday indicating that Manchester City has thrown their hat into the ring for Simons’ services. According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, City’s interest stems from the expected exit of Savinho, prompting them to reconnect with agent Ali Barat to try convincing Simons to choose them over Chelsea.

While City pursues the player, Chelsea remains engaged in ongoing negotiations with maintained mutual interest in completing the transaction. Football London indicates that Simons still considers Chelsea his preferred destination.

The coming days are expected to clarify where the Dutch midfielder will continue his career next season. The transfer fee is anticipated to fall between €60-70 million. Simons has already reached agreement on personal terms for a long-term contract with Chelsea.

RB Leipzig made the decision to part with their key player earlier this summer, having paid PSG a fixed €50 million fee to secure Simons permanently in January.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
