BREAKING NEWS: RB Leipzig Star Xavi Simons makes his choice between Chelsea & Man City after Pep Guardiola enters the race to Sign Him. What a turnaround of event

In a dramatic twist that has taken the transfer market by storm, RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons has finally made his decision after being at the centre of an intense battle between Chelsea and Manchester City.

For weeks, Chelsea were believed to be leading the race for the 21-year-old Dutch sensation, holding advanced talks with his representatives. But everything changed when Pep Guardiola personally stepped in, making a late push to convince Simons to join the Etihad project.

At today’s press conference, a senior Leipzig official confirmed:

> “The player has made his choice, and the club will now respect his wishes. Both Chelsea and Manchester City were serious in their interest, but Xavi has informed us of his preferred destination.”

While the official decision has not yet been publicly announced, reliable sources indicate that Guardiola’s late involvement may have been the decisive factor. The City boss reportedly spoke directly with Simons, outlining a clear plan for his role in the squad and how his creativity could thrive in the Premier League champions’ system.

The turnaround has stunned Chelsea, who thought they had secured the player’s commitment after weeks of negotiations. A Stamford Bridge insider admitted:

> “We were confident. But when Pep calls, it changes everything.”

Simons, currently one of Europe’s most exciting young talents, enjoyed a stellar campaign at Leipzig last season, becoming a key figure in both the Bundesliga and Champions League. His next move is now set to shape one of the most high-profile transfer stories of the summer.

An official announcement is expected within the next 48 hours — and whichever club lands him will be securing not just a signing, but a statement.
