Overview

  • Leipzig confirmed Simons was excused from training for talks, with German reports placing him in London and no official bid yet received.
  • Bild reports the forward is about to move to Tottenham, with further talks scheduled today and training already taking place without him.
  • Chelsea remain in advanced negotiations, while Romano and Telegraph reporting indicate Spurs are preparing a move but would act only if they can close quickly.
  • Verbal figures have been exchanged around €70m (£60–65m), with outlets suggesting wages are a key factor and noting Daniel Levy’s ties to Leipzig executive Oliver Mintzlaff.
  • Separate reporting says Bayern coach Vincent Kompany and executives Max Eberl and Christoph Freund backed signing Simons, but Uli Hoeneß vetoed the move in recent days.
