They have MLS, Calafiori and Gabriel in area where Hato operates. Reddish-Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've sold around £105m so should be fine I just went through the UEFA Settlement agreement doc and it doesn't mention 70 million anywhere. It says we have to have a positive transfer balance in order to register all new players in List A for the Champions League. The Club agrees to be subject to a sporting restriction and, as a consequence, may not register any new player on its List A to UEFA club competitions unless the List A Transfer Balance is positive. • The List A Transfer Balance is defined as the difference between the cost savings from outgoing players (“Cost savings”) and the new costs from incoming players (“New costs”) at any applicable deadline for the Club’s submission of its List A. https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/029b-1e280acc9f0c-a8b2ed192749-1000/chelsea_summary_version_4-year_sa_20250704173903.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,288 Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 Still nothing, huh? 🫤 If we’ve been in direct club to club talks for 3 days now and if the player is as keen to come here as some have suggested then I wonder what the holdup is?

Madueke/Petrovic sales help but if we're going to spend 70 + 40 to 45 for Simons & Hato, we will definitely need alot more in sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as my minimal understanding goes, we just needed to raise approximately £70m in sales this summer, which we have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,288 Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 It’s funny, up until the beginning of this week when we were first after him Xavi wasn’t even on my radar as a potential Chelsea player. He was never really a name linked with us from what I recall. But now that I’ve been watching loads of footage and highlights of him this week I think he would be the most exciting signing we make this summer. I’d be super let down if we don’t get him now. Hopefully some positive updates today from the big reporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,516 Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 (edited) Ffs Osimhen it's clearly going to Galatasaray for a month and still not official. So no, we don't need news about Hato and Simons today. Some of you do this for every player every transfer window. For Gittens and Joao Pedro I remember same comments just a couple of weeks ago.

NikkiCFC 8,516 Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 After exactly 3 weeks of vacation pre season starts on Monday 4 August. So ideally we close these two deals in the next 10 days. Not even full 2 weeks before PL opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen how the deal is being structed? Whatever is going on with Simons isn't comparable. We just have to be patient at this point. If this stalling meant a move for Rogers or Yildiz (as reported) were to materialise, I'd be pleased. Edited July 25, 2025 by LAM09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkh 764 Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 👀💥Response from an RB Leipzig fan. I've been at the training camp in Donaueschingen every day since Wednesday, as I live there. I saw Xavi Simons the day before yesterday and yesterday, but not today. His brother is also currently in Donaueschingen, as is his agent. guddy6969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
