The former champion of England — Manchester City team has begun active actions to acquire the central midfielder of the German club RB Leipzig, Xavi Simons. This was reported by famous sports journalist Sacha Tavolieri through his social media page.
According to sources, the “Citizens” have reestablished long-standing contacts with the player’s agent Ali Barat and are currently in the process of negotiations with Chelsea, trying to lure Simons into their ranks.
Manchester City's interest in the young and talented midfielder is explained by the possible departure of the Brazilian fast winger Savio from the club. According to insider Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham is close to reaching an agreement on Savio’s transfer, and he may soon head to a new club.
Earlier, it was reported that Chelsea had also shown serious interest in Xavi Simons. In particular, negotiations between the two teams had advanced significantly, and the main terms of the deal had been discussed.
According to the latest information disseminated by the media, Xavi Simons, who regularly plays in the Netherlands national team, is waiting for the result of the transfer and is not yet joining RB Leipzig’s general training sessions. This is taken as a sign that he may change clubs in the near future.
If Manchester City gains the upper hand in negotiations, this transfer could further strengthen the club’s midfield line and significantly expand its tactical capabilities in the new season. Fans are watching the outcome of this process with great interest.
