RB Leipzig player, Xavi Simons’ transfer to Chelsea this summer could hinge on Christopher Nkunku leaving the Premier League west London club for Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
Nkunku is not included in Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca’s plans for this season.
As a result, Bayern Munich have been pushing to sign the 27-year-old forward on loan this season.
But, the Blues want Nkunku to leave Stamford Bridge on a permanent transfer, leaving the forward in a state of limbo.
According to RMC Sport, ‘time is running out’ on the Frenchman joining the Bavarians and the dainty situation is ‘blocking’ Simons’ potential move to Chelsea.
Simons has since reached a verbal agreement with Chelsea to move to England before the summer transfer window closes in the coming days.
