Based on new reports, Chelsea are moving in on wide-man Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United. The latest indications are that the player representatives have eagerly agreed to the details of a move to London. As this emerges, latest reports on Xavi Simons are sure to be a bit more worrying for Chelsea fans.
Alejandro Garnacho Advances as Xavi Simons Stalls
Every Detail Agreed
Per Fabrizio Romano, the Argentine has “agreed every detail” over personal terms with the Blues. With the deal done on that end and the attacker reportedly only wanting one end result, talks over a fee are set to begin. The two clubs will likely have extended negotiations as the power is on the side of Clearlake with Garnacho only accepting a move to Stamford Bridge.

This move for a winger/inside forward does raise some questions about the squad and whether it could fit an additional and similar talent that Chelsea have been targeting recently.
Xavi Simons Freezing
The Bundesliga man has been linked with a move to England for some time with the Blues initially looking set to pull off a double swoop for him and fellow Dutch international Jorrel Hato. That hasn’t been the case as Hato is officially announced and ready to play, while Simons is still working with RB Leipzig.

According to Bild, he may even feature for the team against Lens, citing that the attacker is ready to move but without any offer currently on the table, there’s nothing to be done.
One has to wonder how Chelsea could make a move for both attackers. They fit similar areas of the squad and signing Garnacho as is would likely leave little to no room for Simons. If it is a choice of one or the other, they could be left with the Manchester United man instead of the exciting Dutch talent.
