RB Leipzig’s sports director Marcel Schäfer has commented on a possible departure from offensive player Xavi Simons (22) and illustrates that the Saxons would be ready to have the Dutchman pulled in the right financial framework. This is also in the sense of the player, who is supposed to move to the Premier League to Chelsea. With Christopher Nkunku (27), a former attacker of the red bulls is under contract, who could find the way back to RB.

This budget would have to be reduced by dozens of millions of euros without a premier class.
As a replacement for Simons, the Saxons are said to have more than 70 million euros. A trace leads to the Premier League to Chelsea FC. In return, Nkunku could return to RB. The Leipziger are said to have now intensified talks with the Londoners about changing the attacker.
In addition to salary and transfer, his susceptibility to injury against Nkunku speaks. Without this we would not discuss his switch to RB at all because he would then hover in completely different spheres.
