This potential transfer is linked to the player's dissatisfaction with RB Leipzig, who had their worst-ever Bundesliga campaign. Simons has expressed his desire to leave the club, and Chelsea is exploring the possibility of signing him.

However, Chelsea's move for Simons will depend on the club's outgoings, as they are expected to sell several players, including Christopher Nkunku, Joao Felix, and Raheen Sterling, this summer.

Meanwhile, Arsenal is also interested in Simons, but they are currently prioritizing a move for Viktor Gyokeres.
