Chelsea Receive Boost as Leipzig Star With PSG Clause Signals Clear Message

Mundo Deportivo reports that Simons has told the board he wants to leave the club, saying he doesn’t want to waste any more time.

His next stop is expected to be Chelsea. The London club has been pursuing him for weeks, and an agreement has already been reached between the player and the club. The hold-up is that Chelsea need to offload several players, including Alejandro Garnacho, before completing new signings.

Leipzig sporting director Rouven Schroder confirmed the situation is still unresolved. “The transfer market is still ongoing, we can’t guarantee anything 100 percent,” the manager stated.
