Overview

• Multiple reports say Chelsea are working to complete a reported £120m double deal for Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons before the deadline.
• TEAMtalk-sourced reporting claims Manchester United and Chelsea have a mutual understanding for Garnacho at around £50m, with verbal personal terms said to be in place.
• Chelsea are reported to have a verbal agreement on personal terms with Simons, but movement is described as stalled while exits are prioritised.
• Tottenham have explored a late move for Simons and have held talks with RB Leipzig, though some reports suggest the player prefers Chelsea.
• Leipzig are described as holding firm near £70m for Simons, and separate reporting from BILD says Bayern and Chelsea have an agreement on a Nicolas Jackson loan that could help clear room alongside other potential outgoings such as Christopher Nkunku.
