CHELSEA’S Xavi Simons chase has hit a snag — as RB Leipzig do not want any Blues players.
Christopher Nkunku, Armando Broja, Tyrique George and Carney Chukwuemeka have all been offered as makeweights.
But the German club want a straight-up £60million fee for the Dutch playmaker, 22.
Agent Ali Barat — hired by Simons to sort out his exit and who has close ties with Chelsea — is trying to break the stalemate.
But Stamford Bridge chiefs are making progress with loaning out young players.
Midfielder Kendry Paez, 18, has followed keeper Mike Penders, 20, to sister club Strasbourg and striker Marc Guiu, 19, is joining Sunderland.
The Blues have also signed winger Jesse Derry, 18, from Crystal Palace.
Simons initially joined RB Leipzig on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in 2023.
The Dutch international made the switch permanent back in January.
RB Leipzig forked out a club-record £43million to sign Simons.
While significant add-ons were also agreed that could take the fee up to as much as £70m.
Simons decided to quit the German club after they failed to qualify for the Champions League.

to me we don't really need xavi because it would mean that George is out on loan..so if the deal doesn't favor Chelsea let them leave it for now
We actually need him since NKUNKU is leaving we won’t have a natural number 10 left so is a good signing if we rap it up quickly since the player wants the move there won’t be too much trouble

If the deal does come through just work with George. He’s a good player he just need more minutes.

There's no logic in Keeping George if you're signing Garnacho. Better loan him out to get playing time because remember we have Gittins already for that left wing and adding Garnacho will push George further down the pecking order

No need to sign this player, get Gernacho instead, he will be cheaper and understands the league better.
