According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea negotiations with RB Leipzig with Dutch star Zabi Simons are still ongoing, and Bruce wants to move the deal forward before the transfer window closes.
The lecture is part of a larger modification at Stamford Bridge, as progressed.
Chelsea aims to create space for their teams, both in numbers and wage budgets, before finalizing a prominent inbound transfer.
In particular, two potential exit players have been identified: Christopher Nukank and Nicholas Jackson.
Nkank, who has endured the destroyed spell of injuries since joining Leipzig’s Chelsea, is being debated as part of his negotiations with his previous club.
A return to Germany could form part of the deal that led Simons to London.
Chelsea have decided to sell striker Nicholas Jackson
Meanwhile, Jackson is also set to leave, with Chelsea actively working on solutions for their next move.
Bruce’s plans don’t stop at Simons. Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho is another famous name on the radar, but like Simons, his signature is only pursued after Chelsea clears the required space for the team.
Tyrique George, a highly regarded academy prospect, has also been mentioned in his discussion with Leipzig as part of the ongoing negotiations.
Bruce must first make a player sale before a new signature
For Chelsea, Simons has signed a statement as a creative and technically talented attacker who shines in both the Bundesliga and League One, but as Romano reports, the path to securing him will depend on completing a critical outbound transfer first.
Simons has been described as a “complete player” by Daniormo in the past.
Chelsea’s interest in Simons and Garnacho, who had already signed players like Joao Pedro, Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens, shows that they are ready to fill their teams with offensive options, especially with versatile and capable of playing in a variety of positions.
