Chelsea Football Club are reportedly in advanced discussions with RB Leipzig. They are looking to come up with a possible swap deal, which would see Xavi Simons head to Stamford Bridge. Such a deal would open the door for the return of Christopher Nkunku to his old stomping grounds, RB Leipzig. As the summer transfer window continues to heat up, clubs are pulling triggers on some bold signings. Everton has raised its game, increasing pressure to land Jack Grealish in a loan from Manchester City.
The Chelsea-RB Leipzig transfer talks focus on one of the brightest young stars in the Bundesliga, Xavi Simons. Chelsea see Simons as an important asset to what has been a transitionary squad. The swap deal would bring one such player—highly rated Leipzig midfielder Christopher Nkunku—closer to a return to Leipzig. It’s where he first made his name before jumping ship to Chelsea. The possible deal underscores what many believe is the new reality of player transfers between the big clubs in Europe.
Everton Pursues Grealish Loan
As CFC continues to dither, EFC is already redoubling its efforts to bring Jack Grealish on loan to Goodison Park. The Merseyside outfit reportedly is not put off by the prospect of having to pay a big chunk of Grealish’s £300,000-a-week salary. This determination reflects Everton’s desire to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming season, as they seek to improve their performance in the Premier League.
Manchester City’s Jack Grealish is another standout figure in English football. His experience and creativity on the pitch would be a huge wake-up call to what is predominantly a young attacking cast at Everton’s disposal. The London club are prepared to subsidise most of his salary. It does a great job of highlighting their continued commitment to recruiting top talent in spite of fiscal constraints.
Hull City and Rangers Make Their Moves
Hull City has won the battle for Brandon Williams’s signature, leaving Birmingham and Plymouth in the dust. They won the competition for his services easily. The young talent has been on the radar of many clubs. Hull City’s determination has done the trick, and he is set to join the Tigers on the second tier side.
Back up north, Rangers are said to be on the verge of completing the signing of Real Betis defender Nobel Mendy. Adding Mendy would provide a major boost to Rangers’ defensive corps as they gear up for another grueling season in the Scottish Premiership. Mendy’s expert knowledge of La Liga will prove priceless in Spain. It will be even more important when they do try to compete at the top level.
