That’s according to the latest from journalist Ben Jacobs, who says that Leipzig are hoping to bag €65m or more for the Netherlands international.
See below as Jacobs has posted on X about the ongoing saga, with Spurs seemingly very much in the race for Simons despite Chelsea having looked in a strong position for so long…

Where should Xavi Simons go next?
Simons will likely be tempted by Chelsea as their exciting project built around young players finally seems to be moving in the right direction.
It’s taken some time, but the Blues are improving a lot under Enzo Maresca, and won the Europa Conference League last season, and the Club World Cup this summer.
Tottenham would perhaps be a bit more of a gamble following a strange season in which they won the Europa League final, earning Champions League qualification in the process, but finished all the way down in 17th in the Premier League table.

Spurs could perhaps guarantee Simons more playing time, however, as there’s so much competition at Stamford Bridge.
