The Athletic reported that Chelsea offered a 50 million euro quotation for Barcelona midfielder Fermin, and according to German media Bild, Xavi Simmons, who is both an offensive midfielder with Fermin, is still waiting for Chelsea's offer.
In view of this situation, Tottenham, which is believed to have withdrawn from Simmons' bid, has rekindled interest. It is worth mentioning that when Tottenham asked the players about their intentions, the opponent's reply was "Chelsea or Leipzig".
Due to Madison's torn cruciate ligament in early August, Tottenham Hotspur urgently needs to sign ups at the No. 10 position. Eze chose Arsenal, and Gibbs White renewed his contract with Nottingham Forest.
Although Tottenham has enough funds to activate Simmons' 70 million Euro termination clause, the transfer still faces some obstacles. First, Simmons must be willing to join Tottenham, and second, there is also an agreement on the financial side.
Simmons currently has an annual salary of 11 million euros in Leipzig. It is understood that he has high salary requirements. In addition, players still have a lot of room for improvement in defense, and may work harder after coming to the Premier League.
