Chelsea’s Zabi Simons pursuit is very alive and the club chooses patience over panic as negotiations between RB Leipzig and the Bruce continue to advance in the background.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, the 22-year-old Dutch star has focused entirely on the agreement between the two clubs, and Manchester City is no longer considered a serious candidate in the race for his signature.
The Dutch offensive midfielder scored 11 goals for Bundesliga clubs last season, and his impressive performance attracted the attention of Premier League clubs.

Chelsea emerges as the most consistent and decisive suitor, taking a measured approach to ensure that the deal is crossed the line.
Plettenberg reports that the deal is “still on” and Chelsea are confident in their strategy. Players currently earn a total salary of up to 14 million euros per season in Leipzig, provided all performance-related bonuses are taken into consideration.
There was speculation in front of the window about potential interest from Man City, but the avenue has cooled considerably.

For now, Chelsea remain in the driver’s seat and recognizes that rushing negotiations can complicate an already sensitive process.
The Simons are versatile players who can play behind a striker or in wide offensive positions.
Enzo Maresca recently added offensive talent to his team, focusing on the versatility of players.
With the new Premier League season approaching, all eyes are at Stamford Bridge to see if Chelsea can bring one of Europe’s most exciting young talent to West London.
