Bayern Munich have made concrete enquiries for Xavi Simons in recent days - but a deal is very unlikely to happen for several reasons.

First and foremost, Sky Germany is aware that Simons currently remains fully focused on a move to Chelsea.

A verbal agreement with the Londoners is already in place. All that's missing is an agreement between the two clubs.  

A potential departure of Christopher Nkunku (talks ongoing with FC Bayern) could be crucial for Chelsea’s next steps regarding Xavi.

Meanwhile, a permanent transfer of Carney Chukwuemeka to Borussia Dortmund could further boost the Leipzig star's move to England.

The Blues urgently need to free up funds in order to present a suitable offer to the Saxon club for the 22-year-old.
