Inter to rival Chelsea for Xavi Simons?

According to Bild, Inter could rival Chelsea for the signing of Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig.

The Serie A club have reportedly identified Simons as a backup option to Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman, who remains Inter’s top transfer priority. 

If their move for Lookman falls through, Inter are expected to shift their focus to Simons - though they may have to act quickly.

Multiple reports suggest Chelsea are already in advanced negotiations to sign the Dutch international, who would reportedly cost around €70 million.

Simons has spent the last two seasons at RB Leipzig. His loan move from Paris Saint-Germain was made permanent this past winter for a reported €50 million.
