Chelsea are finally set to get the green light for a done deal with the Fabrizio Romano ‘here we go’ call coming soon now!
The club are certainly taking their time on a couple of incoming deals right now as they are clearly looking to try and make sure they get the very best deal for them both.
We are getting updates every day on deals for Chelsea to sign Jorrel Hato from Ajax, as well as Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. Yesterday, Romano was reporting the Hato deal as now being very close to being agreed.
And he also said something similar about the Simons deal too, with that one reaching an advanced stage on talks with an agreed fee on it’s way.
So Chelsea fans have been expecting both of these deals to get done very soon now, but we are still waiting, and we are still waiting today as well.

Fabrizio Romano posted on his X account last night:
“Understand Jorrel Hato deal now very close with Chelsea… here we go, coming soon!
“Negotiations at final stages with Ajax after new direct talks today.
“Hato, waiting for green light to travel and go sign with Chelsea asap.”
It’s possible, of course, it does happen quite a lot even at these late stages. But right now, it certainly doesn’t look like Hato will break down at this stage – it’s at the final details and you expect this to go through now.
