Bayern Munich are interested in signing RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons in a move that could complicate Chelsea's pursuit of the Netherlands international.

Chelsea are closing in on agreeing personal terms with Xavi Simons with RB Leipzig considering a move for Carney Chukwuemeka in a potential swap deal.

Chelsea have enquired about the availability of Xavi Simons, who is open to the possibility of a move to Stamford Bridge. The Blues, however, will have to make a sale or two before they can make a formal bid for the RB Leipzig star. Chelsea have already bolstered their squad by signing forwards like Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens, while Estevao Willian is also set to join the club.

Manchester United and Chelsea have reportedly stepped up their interest in RB Leipzig star Xaxi Simons but a sizeable hurdle could scupper a transfer.

Bayern Munich have reportedly reignited their interest in RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons after missing out on Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams. The Bundesliga giants have made an enquiry about the 22-year-old, who wants to leave Leipzig just six months after joining permanently from Paris Saint-Germain. Die Rekordmeister see the former Barcelona star as a key solution to their attacking shortage.
