Manchester City are thinking about jumping in to take Xavi Simons away from Chelsea — even though the Dutch star has already agreed to join the Blues.
Chelsea are still talking with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Simons’ current club, and have not sealed the deal yet. This has given Man City a chance to watch closely and maybe make their own move, according to talkSPORT.
Pep Guardiola’s team is checking their attack after Jack Grealish went on loan to Everton and James McAtee is set to join Nottingham Forest.
City don’t really want to sell their Brazilian winger Savinho, who has been linked with Tottenham, but they might agree if the player insists on leaving.
Simons, 22, mostly plays as an attacking midfielder but can also play on both wings, which is something Guardiola likes.
Chelsea’s talks have slowed down, and they are also discussing the possibility of sending Christopher Nkunku back to RB Leipzig, which could further delay Simons’ move.
