According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are making significant and rapid progress in their negotiations to sign Dutch international sensation, Xavi Simons.
The Premier League club is currently in advanced discussions with the player’s representatives over a contract and personal terms. These talks are reportedly “progressing fast,” with the primary goal being to reach a full verbal agreement as soon as possible.
A key factor driving the speed of these negotiations is that Simons himself remains open to the move. His willingness to join the project at Stamford Bridge has given Chelsea the green light to move quickly and decisively on the player’s side of the deal.
Chelsea’s strategy is to secure an agreement with the player first, thereby strengthening their negotiating position. Once they have a full accord with Simons and his camp, they will proceed to the next stage: initiating official, club-to-club contact to discuss and agree on a transfer fee.
While other top clubs like Arsenal and Bayern Munich have been monitoring the situation, Chelsea’s proactive and aggressive approach has put them in a commanding lead in the race for his signature.
The Blues are now closing in on a full agreement with Xavi Simons. Once that is finalized, the focus will shift to agreeing a fee with his club as they aim to complete one of the most exciting signings of the summer window.
