“Here we go expected soon” – Fabrizio Romano delivers huge bad news for Chelsea fans | OneFootball

It looks like Fabrizio Romano has conceded to the fact that Chelsea might now not be signing a target they’ve wanted for MONTHS.

To be honest if you’re like me, you are probably going to be very relieved to see this transfer window end, it’s been a window of annoying and underwhelming sagas, and one is about to end now after months of Chelsea trying to sign the player.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea have late discussion about signing Arsenal defender this window!!

It emerged yesterday and reports grew over the day that Tottenham were trying to ‘hijack’ Chelsea’s move to sign Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. Of course, there is no hijacking to do because Chelsea had not even made an offer and Simons has been waiting on joining Chelsea all summer. But if we don’t offer, then he can’t come here. But he wants to leave Leipzig, so it looks like Spurs are his only Premier League option now.

It’s always been Simons and Alejandro Garnacho that Chelsea have been chasing at this latter end of the window. And Chelsea even threw out the agreed deal reports for Garnacho yesterday seemingly to perhaps soften the Simons blow for Chelsea fans.

Here we go soon!

Many Chelsea fans wanted the club to sign Simons and have been fully invested in this deal all summer, so there will be a bit of anger around this morning hearing Romano’s latest updates on it.

Romano posted on X in the early hours of this morning:

“Tottenham agree €60m fee with RB Leipzig for Xavi Simons!

“Official bid accepted, green light after #THFC sent formal bid following player’s encouragement.

“Spurs want deal done today also on player side + medical in the next hours.

“Here we go, expected soon.”

Baffling

Chelsea spend all summer making Simons wait for them and now wont even sign him for such a reasonable fee? It’s absolutely baffling and such a bad way to run things. It’s not even about the player and if you rate him, it’s about being so public with your pursuit of him all summer and making him wait, then not signing him at all. Not the firs time Chelsea have done this recently either. Victor Osimhen and Michael Olise are just two examples of that.
