Xavi Simmons transfer to Chelsea enters the countdown! The 70 million euros welcomes the 10th, and the answer is finally welcomed

August 2, Chelsea fans' mood this summer is probably like riding a roller coaster, with news of buying people one after another, but the offensive player who can really make people shine has not come for a long time. However, now it is finally settled: Harvey Simmons' transfer has entered the final sprint stage, only missing the official stamp.

The 21-year-old Dutch star quietly deleted the label of "RB Leipzig" on social media, which clearly told the whole world: "I'm leaving." And his next stop is probably Stamford Bridge. Philipp Hinze, a reporter from Sky Sports in Germany, revealed that Chelsea has prepared a offer, and Leipzig's asking price is 70 million euros (including additional terms), and the two sides are finalizing the final details.

In fact, this transaction has long been traceable. Simmons' agent Ali Bharat (the one who helped Maduaike get Arsenal transfer before) has already negotiated personal terms with Chelsea senior executives, and signed the contract directly in 2032 and also brought the option of renewal, which is clearly the core figure of the long-term plan. Although Leipzig initially tried to kill EUR 80 million and did not let go, he couldn't resist the players' desire to leave, and finally compromised to EUR 70 million and accepted installment payments and second transfer share, which shows that they are quite optimistic about Simmons' future appreciation space.

From a tactical perspective, Simmons is the type of player Chelsea lacks the most. The Blues' offensive constipation problem last season is well known, and Simmons' performance in Leipzig's 11 goals and 9 assists in a single season proves that he can not only play as a front midfielder, pull the side, and even play a guest appearance as a movie forward. His ball-holding ability (5 successful breakthroughs per game) and passing vision can directly improve Chelsea's positional combat breakthrough ability. The new coach Maresca obviously has high hopes for him and plans to make him and Gittens rotate on the left to liberate Joao Pedro back to the center position.

Interestingly, Simmons rejected the interest of giants such as Bayern and Liverpool this time, and was determined to join Chelsea. This is very consistent with the Blues' recruitment strategy in recent years, focusing on tapping top potential stocks and creating a "youth storm". They have spent nearly 400 million euros this summer and have introduced nine new players, and Simmons is likely to be the last piece of the puzzle.

Of course, there is no risk. The first is the pressure of the FFP (Financial Fairness Act). Chelsea spent money like flowing in this summer window, and they would definitely have to sell people to recover their health next time. Fringe players such as Jacquesson and Chilwell may be cleaned up. Secondly, although Simmons is skilled, it is still a question whether his 1.72-meter-72-meter body can withstand it in the muscle jungle of the Premier League. Last season, his success rate of air scramble was only 28%. In the Premier League, this data may be even more ugly.

However, Chelsea's scout report is full of confidence in him, believing that his speed of pursuit and tactical execution are enough to make up for his physical disadvantage. Moreover, the price of 70 million euros is not outrageous in today's market (the price of Germany is exactly the same as this). Compared with the rumors that Manchester United wanted to spend 135 million euros before, Chelsea's deal even means "picking up bargains".

Vivi Observation Brief Comment:

Now, I'm waiting for the official news. If everything goes well, Simmons will become the fifth highest transfer fee in Chelsea's history and the betting of the Premier League midfielder this summer. For Blues fans, this may be the beginning of a new era, after all, it has been a long time since they saw a real No. 10 player playing magical football at Stamford Bridge.
