Premier League side pondering major hijack of Chelsea transfer deal that would cause stir | OneFootball

There is a Premier League side who are apparently contemplating hijacking a major Chelsea transfer deal this summer window.

We haven’t got long left now as we go into the final weeks of the window, but this one could cause a real stir should it happen and we can expect drama either way.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea offered chance to sign Premier League centre back and it’s not Marc Guehi!

To be honest, I am absolutely bored to death of the Xavi Simons to Chelsea transfer saga now and I’m well and truly over it!

But it is still ongoing. Sky Germany were even reporting on this morning saying it’s still on and the player is waiting on Chelsea blah blah blah and all the other recycled info we keep hearing about.

And Fabrizio Romano had his regular update on Simons to Chelsea yesterday afternoon and confirms that a deal for him to join Chelsea is still very much on.

Probably going to go down to transfer deadline day now isn’t it this one? Well, I guess it will be good for the clicks and the media!

According to talkSPORT this afternoon, Manchester City are contemplating a stunning hijack of Chelsea’s proposed deal for Xavi Simons.

They claim that whilst Simons has agreed personal terms with Chelsea, there is no agreement yet on the fee between clubs. City’s interest is just that for now apparently but if they can sell some more players then they are weighing up a move for Simons.

Chelsea playing the waiting game

It’s obviously all a tactical game for Chelsea as they just keep waiting and holding out so they can pay a fee that they went to pay I’d imagine.

They aren’t just going to pay up what a club is asking so it looks like they’re trying to be firm in negotiations.
