Entering the new season, the 22-year-old Dutch star Xavi Simmons has a special sense of ritual. Like Leipzig's teammates, he wore a white bandage on his right wrist, wondering if he wanted to add good luck to the key transfer period. Despite his long-term plan to leave the team, Simmons still showed extremely high professional qualities in the training camp, and even took the initiative to practice, striving to maintain his peak competitive state.

In the transfer market, the four giants Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Barcelona have all looked at Simmons, and Chelsea is currently in the lead in this battle. The Blues have expressed strong interest to Leipzig and started transfer negotiations. Although Leipzig sports director Marcel Schaffer has not received a formal offer from Chelsea, various signs show that Chelsea is eager to buy. Simmons also participated in the team's friendly match as usual and showed good condition. "Photo" also revealed that its agent team has gone to the training camp to negotiate related matters. However, Chelsea needs to sell some players first in transfer operations to recover funds to promote Simmons' transfer transaction.

Bayern sports director Ebert appreciates Simmons very much, but there are differences in opinions on the issue of signings. The Bundesliga overlord's current primary goal is to sign Liverpool's Louis Dias, and also chase Stuttgart's Walter Marde. Simmons's signing priority at Bayern is not high.

Inter Milan, they regard Simmons as an alternative to Lukeman's number one goal after his transfer failed. Given the competitive environment in Serie A and the team's signing strategy, Simmons is relatively unlikely to join Inter Milan.

As for Barcelona, Simmons's agent had a 45-minute meeting with Barcelona sports director Deco, but subsequent progress was stalled. Although Simmons is from La Macia's youth training and returning to Barcelona is naturally attractive to him, Barcelona is currently facing financial pressure and needs to raise funds by selling people first, which makes it more difficult for Simmons to join Barcelona

Theoretically, Simmons still has the possibility of staying in Leipzig. However, judging from the situation of all parties, transfer and leaving the team seems to be a high probability event. Leipzig needs to obtain funds by selling players, and Simmons has only one year left in his contract next year, when his value will drop sharply. As the summer transfer window advances, Leipzig remains optimistic about the transfer market and looks forward to the early settlement of Simmons' transfer.
