Chelsea estimated Nkunku at 60 million GBP in January when Bayern made an inquiry.
Their price has not dropped significantly because he did not want to sell Nkunku to a book loss.
Since Nkunku remove a deduction on the Stamford Bridge due to limited options, an agreement is understood as possible.
It then depends on whether Nkunku wants to return to Leipzig, especially in a season without European football.
Tyrique George and Carney Chukwuemeka are two other names that Leipzig applied during the conversations about Simons.
Every deal for Nkunku or another Chelsea player would be a separate transmission to Xavi.
But there is a link in the sense that Chelsea wants to sell both Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson so that they can move for Xavi and Manchester United Alejandro Garnacho.
What are the finances for an Xavi Simons Transfer?
Leipzig held almost € 70 million, while Chelsea tried a deal south of € 60 million.
Simons only changed from PSG from PSG in January for EUR 50 million with a further EUR 30 million in add-ons.
The key to a final assessment is exactly how many of these bonuses have been paid.
