Chelsea are looking to make progress on a number of sales as they seek to push through deals for RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Xavi Simons and Ajax defender Jorrel Hato
RB Leipzig are thought to be demanding a final fee of at least €70 million (£60.8 million, $82.1 million)—which would take Chelsea’s total outlay this summer to north of €300 million (£260.4 million, $351.9 million), comparable to the record-breaking figures bandied around by Liverpool.
