Xavi Simons in London for Talks as Tottenham Submit €70 Million Bid

Sky reports Tottenham have tabled an offer for the RB Leipzig playmaker as the transfer race accelerates late in the window.

Overview

  • RB Leipzig confirmed Simons has been released from team duties to hold negotiations and head coach Ole Werner said he remains under contract for now.
  • Multiple outlets report the 22-year-old has traveled to London to negotiate, with talks focused on Tottenham after Chelsea's pursuit cooled.
  • Sky says Spurs have lodged an official proposal worth about €70 million including bonuses, while no Chelsea bid has been reported.
  • Leipzig is seeking roughly €70 million for a player signed from PSG for about €50 million in January, leaving the Bundesliga club poised for a sizable profit if a deal is struck.
