Manchester City Join Chelsea in Pursuit of Xavi Simons

Manchester City challenge Chelsea for the signing of PSG midfielder Xavi Simons as both clubs push to secure the 21-year-old before the transfer window closes.

 

 

 

Manchester City have entered the competition to sign Dutch midfielder Xavi Simons, according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri. The player, whose rights are currently held by Paris Saint-Germain, has become a significant target for several top European clubs this transfer window.

 

Current Situation

 

Simons, 21, spent last season on loan and has a buy-back clause situation that makes his transfer path complex. PSG are reportedly open to negotiations if the right financial terms are met, but the decision will also depend on the player’s preference.

 

Chelsea’s Position

 

Chelsea have been in advanced contact with Simons’ representatives, presenting him as a key addition to their squad under manager Enzo Maresca. The club views his versatility in attacking midfield and wide positions as an important tactical asset for the coming season.

 

Manchester City’s Approach

 

Manchester City have now made their interest known. Initial discussions have reportedly taken place between the club and the player’s camp. City’s offer would include a role in a squad that competes on multiple fronts, with opportunities in both domestic and European competitions.

 

Transfer Outlook

 

The final decision will involve multiple factors: the financial agreement between clubs, the player’s contract clauses, and Simons’ choice between Chelsea’s project and City’s established structure. Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks, with both clubs aiming to complete their squad plans before the transfer window closes.
