Xavi Simons is on the verge of a move to Stamford Bridge. At 22, the former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder is close to reaching a verbal agreement with Chelsea, according to Sky Sport Germany. The Dutch international has made the Premier League his top priority—and things are moving fast.
Personal terms are reportedly not an issue, as both sides are eager to work together. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig is expecting an official offer from Chelsea in the coming hours. Talks have even included a potential player swap involving Carney Chukwuemeka, who could head to Germany.
PSG quietly watching… with percentages in mind
Though no longer a PSG player, the French club stands to benefit from this transfer. PSG will receive 10% of the capital gain on the fee Leipzig paid (€50 million excluding bonuses), along with 2–5% of any future transfers involving Simons. It could be a lucrative long-term deal for the Parisians.
Fueling exit speculation, Simons has added top agent Ali Barat to his team—one of the masterminds behind Moisés Caicedo’s record move to Chelsea and Dean Huijsen’s transfer to Real Madrid. All signs point to a big summer move, and Chelsea—who eliminated PSG in the 2024 Champions League—are ready to pounce.
