Chelsea's Xavi Simons deal in danger! RB Leipzig refusing to take back Blues outcasts in deal as talks continue for Dutch forward
Chelsea's swap deal for Simons hits major roadblock RB Leipzig demand £60m — reject all swap offers Agent Ali Barat working to unlock transfer breakthrough Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? As per The Sun, Chelsea have offered multiple players in exchange for Simons, including Armando Broja and Carney Chukwuemeka. However, RB Leipzig are only interested in a cash deal worth £60m ($79m) for the Dutch international. Agent Ali Barat, who has good relations with Chelsea, is said to be working behind the scenes to try and rescue the transfer. THE BIGGER PICTURE Simons joined RB Leipzig permanently from Paris Saint-Germain in January after a loan stint with the Bundesliga side. His decision to leave comes after Leipzig failed to secure Champions League qualification. Chelsea, meanwhile, are making other moves in the market, sending Kendry Paez, Mike Penders, and Marc Guiu out on loan to open up the budget to sign Simons. DID YOU KNOW? RB Leipzig paid a club-record £43m for Simons, with add-ons potentially raising the deal to £70m. As such, Die Roten Bullen are not ready to sell the Dutchman for less than £60m. The Blues still view Simons as a priority target for the summer, despite the recent setback. WHAT NEXT FOR SIMONS? Negotiations are expected to continue as Chelsea weigh up whether to meet RB Leipzig's asking price for Simons. The Blues could return with a fresh offer later in the window if Barat finds a breakthrough. Meanwhile, other midfield options may be explored as a backup plan.

Haaland Hints at MLS Move Inspired by Messi and Beckham
Man City star open to future US switch but stays committed to Premier League ambitions Norwegian striker Erling Haaland's sparked widespread debate after expressing openness to future move to Major League Soccer MLS citing inspiration from Lionel Messi & David Beckham. "No one knows what the future holds" In recent interview with TIME Magazine, Haaland was asked whether he could envision himself in MLS one day. His response: "No one knows what the future holds. What Messi's doing now is incredible and what Beckham did before him ... it's amazing" Despite the comments, the 25 year old Man City star emphasized that he's fully focused on his current club highlighting unfinished business in the PL & Champions league. Since joining Man City Haaland's scored 124 goal in 146 appearances including 85 Premier League goals in just 3 season. He's played major role in City's domestic and European success establishing himself as one of the most dominant strikers in the club's history. Although Haaland insists "now isn't the time for big change" his openness to potential move fuels speculation that MLS could be his post peak destination.
