Chelsea opened talks with RB Leipzig to sign Xavi Simons, Talksport understands.
Simons is about to agree to agree to personal conditions, but also speaks to other clubs with Bayern Munich and Arsenal Keen.

The 22-year-old prioritizes a change to the Premier League as soon as he is out and could be available for less than 60 million pounds.
Despite Leipzig, a fee of £ 70 with PSG agreed in January.
The breakdown of this package was £ 44 million with another £ 26 million in add-ons.
A large part of the bonuses have not yet been paid for, which is why Leipzig sanctioned a sale closer to the current market value of Simons.
Who is still on the Chelsea transfer list?
Chelsea would like to add another attacker with the expectation that Christopher leaves Nkunku.
The Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United also remains a name of interest.
If Nicolas Jackson also left, which is by no means a matter of course, Joao Pedro would probably be used more in his preferred role as number nine, and there could even be a scenario in which Chelsea could continue both Simons and Garnacho.
Arsenal also appreciates Simons, but does not yet have to move in a deal. Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace remains a name of interest and the conversations have already taken place on the player side.
Palace’s position is that the clause of Ezes should be paid for £ 68 million, and it remains to be seen whether this attitude becomes soft in the course of the window.
Bayern also had talks with Simons, although their first priority is to sign Luiz Diaz from Liverpool.

An improved offer that may be almost £ 70 million will be expected shortly.
The German champions do not exclude an offer for Simons either, although he knew that he was interested in a Premier League change.
Simons made 76 appearances for Leipzig, which are achieved 21 times and can be used as an attacking midfielder or on the flank, which Chelsea considered appealing.
Chelsea is also busy driving a new defender who started with Ajax for Jorrel Hato Club-to-Club talks.
Fresh conversations also took place on the player side last week, as Talksport unveiled and personal terms have not been a problem.
Liverpool is also interested in the defender, who is available in the 35-45 million pounds of Sterling, although Ajax held a £ 60 million pounds in January when the applicants inquired.
Chelsea sees Hato as a strong fit because he can play in the middle of the back or left-back and a varied profile is required, since Renato Veiga is in conversations to join Atletico Madrid.
The cover for Marc Cucurella is currently in the form of right -sided defenders Reece James and Malo Gusto or moving Levi Colwill to the left.
